A bittersweet joy to commend my beloved stepmother Jenny to God today. She rescued me as a teenager from emotional oblivion with affection and love and taught me that everybody has a story that deserves a tender hearing. She was also outrageously naughty. I’ll miss her hugely.

NEW: In a new declaration, the Vatican's doctrinal office officially opens the possibility for priests to provide simple blessings to same-sex and "irregular" couples, outside of a liturgical context, as long as the church's traditional understanding of marriage is made clear.
