Arr, a matey o' the church did declare the blessings be a "real development," yet he be warnin' that they not be changin' the old ways o' the church 'bout marriage, ye scallywags!

In a hilarious twist of events, a church official has recently declared that the blessings granted to same-sex couples are indeed a step forward, but fear not, ye scurvy dogs, for they do not go against the traditional doctrine of the church about marriage! Arrr!
Now, imagine a bunch of pirates sitting in a dimly lit tavern, discussing the latest news from the church. One pirate, who happens to be a church official, slams his tankard on the table and exclaims, "Avast, me hearties! The blessings we be giving to same-sex couples be a real development, I tell ye!"
As the pirates raise their eyebrows in surprise, the church official quickly adds, with a twinkle in his eye, "But fear not, me mateys! This development don't be changin' the traditional doctrine of the church about marriage, yarr!"
It's as if the church official is trying to navigate treacherous waters, trying to please both sides of the argument. He wants to acknowledge the progress made in recognizing the love between same-sex couples, while also reassuring the faithful that the sacred institution of traditional marriage remains intact.
Picture the pirates scratching their heads, wondering how the blessings given to same-sex couples could be considered progress if they don't alter the traditional doctrine. The church official may have a point, for it seems he's walking a tightrope between progress and tradition, like a pirate balancing on the plank.
So, me hearties, it seems the church is finally acknowledging the love between same-sex couples and offering them blessings. However, they want to make it clear that this doesn't mean they be changing their stance on traditional marriage. It's a delicate dance, like a pirate trying to tread lightly on a ship's deck, but it's progress nonetheless. Yo ho ho!
