John, who married David Furnish in 2005, hit back after the Vatican said on Monday that the Catholic church cannot bless same-sex unions as God “does not bless sin”.
Elton John has accused the Vatican of “hypocrisy” over its decision to prohibit the blessing of same-sex unions, pointing out that the Holy See reportedly indirectly invested in his Rocketman biopic.
Since gay unions are not intended to be part of that plan, such relationships cannot be legitimately blessed.
A spokesperson for the Vatican did not respond to the Guardian for comment on Tuesday.
