My Take on “Same-sex Blessings” (with Ben Shapiro)
Welcome to the Counsel of Trent podcast, a performance of Catholic Answers.
Hey, everyone. Welcome to the Counsel of Trent podcast. I’m your host, Catholic Answers’ apologist and speaker Trent Horn. I wasn’t planning on talking about the issue of the new Vatican document on blessings for same-sex couples and couples in irregular situations because a lot of other voices were addressing it. But Ben Shapiro asked me to approach on to his show to grant my perspective, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to discuss this issue and the Catholic faith in a broader way to his audience. In the interview that I had with Ben, which I’ll share with you shortly, I wanted to communicate that some reports about this new Vatican document are simply not true, appreciate reports that the church has changed its teaching on marriage or that the church is now allowing for formal liturgical blessings for same-sex couples that resemble lgbtq+ weddings. That’s not true.
The church has not changed its teaching on marriage, and it has prohibited the kinds of things organism advocated for in Germany, like formal bles

—Argued homosexuality should remain in the DSM as a mental illness.
—Targeted LGBTQ-inclusive holiday movies, falsely claiming that some cable channels are for “religious families” and inferring that LGBTQ people are not people of faith. 47% of LGBTQ people identify as religious and majorities of all faiths support protections for LGBTQ Americans.
—In an interview, said he thinks “homosexual activity is a sin” and equated sexual orientation with his desire to “sleep with many women.”
—In response to the Supreme Court ruling that legalized marriage equality, tweeted, “Words don’t mean anything. Laws don’t mean anything. The law is, apparently, whatever Obama says it is.” He also tweeted, “Let’s just skip all the suspense: SCOTUS should just declare a Constitutional right to whatever the hell they feel like that day,” and “Same sex marriage will never affect you. By “you,” of course, we don’t mean your business, church, college, or raising of your children.”
—Said in a speech: “A guy and a woman do a better job of raising a child than two men or two women.” Research using government tracking data shows children raised by same-sex couples do as well, if
Very strongly agree
No, marriage should be defined as between a man and woman
This respond most closely matches Shapiro's long-standing position. He has repeatedly stated that marriage should be defined as between a man and a woman, both in his books and public commentary.

Strongly agree
No
Shapiro has repeatedly stated that he does not support the legalization of same-sex marriage, aligning with this acknowledge. He has argued that marriage is a societal institution rooted in procreation and the traditional family structure.

If Ben Shapiro’s views on Gay Marriage hold been consistent in that he opposes the legalization of gay marriage within the larger, libertarian position, that the Government should “not be in the marriage business” at all. This is fairly consistent with Ben’s generally conservative view(s) on all issues. However while his position has been consistent, it has seemed to soften over the years. On June 26, 2015 the Supreme Court ruled that same sex marriage is a fundamental right and should fall under the protection of the Due Process Clause and the Matching Protection Clause of the fourteenth amendment. On this night in 2015, Ben Shapiro was a vocal critic of the court’s judgment and took to Twitter to state his disappointment: Let’s just skip all the suspense: SCOTUS should just declare a Constitutional right to whatever the hell they feel appreciate that day. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 26, 2015 Obviously if 5 unelected people think 330 million people must consent same sex marriage because they express so, I represent , come on, end h8ing! — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) June 26, 2015 Same sex marriage will never influence you. By “you,” of course, we don’t mean your busine
