What is the current position (December 2023) of the Roman Catholic Church with blessing same-sex PARTNERSHIPS?

Recently a lesbian couple who are both priestesses in the Church of England received the first formal ***blessing of a same-sex partnership in a C of E service.*** Upon reading this, I thought to myself, at least the Catholic Church has resisted the pressure to bless same-sex partnerships. Apparently that is no longer the case. [Catholic priests can now bless same-sex couples](https://apnews.com/article/vatican-lgbtq-pope-bfa5b71fa79055626e362936e739d1d8) >19 December 2023: ROME (AP) — Pope Francis formally approved letting Catholic priests bless same-sex couples, the Vatican announced Monday, a radical shift in policy that aimed at making the church more inclusive while maintaining its strict ban on gay marriage. >But while the Vatican statement was heralded by some as a step toward breaking down discrimination in the Catholic Church, some LGBTQ+ advocates warned it underscored the church’s idea that gay couples remain inferior to heterosexual partnerships. >The document from the Vatican’s doctrine office elaborates on a letter Francis sent to two conservative cardinals that was published in October. In that preliminary response, Francis suggested such blessings could be offered under some circumstances if the blessings weren’t confused with the ritual of marriage. Up until this point I thought the Catholic Church viewed homosexuality as “intrinsically disordered” i.e., that such a union is not as God structured creation. Perhaps I am mistaken? I have no desire to be contentious (although this is a contentious issue for many Christians) but I really want to know ***the official Roman Catholic position on the blessing of same-sex partnerships.*** and where does the Roman Catholic Church go from here? P.S. I asked this question on same-sex marriage in October 2020: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/79466/what-is-the-official-catholic-position-on-same-sex-marriage-and-same-sex-civil-p P.P.S. I was unable to find a tag about same-sex partnerships so I have created one.
