On Monday, in the wake of the news that the Vatican had bluntly said that blessing same-sex unions did not fit within the doctrine of the Catholic Church, CNN host Don Lemon lectured religious people that the Catholic Church and other churches should “reexamine themselves and their teachings because that is not what God is about. God is not about hindering people or even judging people.”
Appearing as a guest on ABC’s “The View,” Lemon responded to co-host Meghan McCain, who stated, “You got engaged to your fiancé, Tim, in 2019, and this morning, we learned that the Vatican has said that the Catholic Church won’t bless same-sex unions since ‘God cannot bless sin.’ They go on to say that this does not imply a judgment on persons, but I want to know, do you think this sends a damaging message and how do you feel about that given that obviously you are engaged and going to get married?”
