I don't know if the Cardinal realizes this, but by granting this interview, he gave at least a little bit of credibility to LSN.

Was he sure he wanted to do that?

If all he's doing is explaining Catholic teaching, then I would think he would wish to give the statement to any publication that would promulgate it without materially changing it, as a way of propagating Church teaching.

The Church can certainly bless gay people as individuals. Such blessing would be routinely given if the gay person or persons attend blessing at the end of Mass or Benediction or watches/ listens to a live Urbi et Orbi blessing or other live broadcast blessing.

I wonder if the LSN interviewer asked the Cardinal for a blessing.
