"Vatican's Evolving Stance: Blessing Same-Sex Unions and Pope Francis' Informality"

Pope Francis' informal approach to papal duties, including recent events such as the Fiducia Supplicans declaration and a phone call with the Ukrainian president, has raised concerns about the risks of informality within the papacy and the Catholic Church. Critics argue that this approach, characterized by a lack of institutional oversight and documentation, may lead to confusion, conceptual and structural risks, and a centralization of power around the Pope, potentially undermining the traditional counterweights and historical understanding within the Church.
