     Interestingly, famous Jesuit Fr. James Martin has already blessed a same-sex couple. It will be interesting to see how the Vatican reacts to this, to see if the notion that the media has misunderstood the intention behind this edict holds any water. I'm guessing Pope Francis will remain silent.

In other respects, though, it's actually had positive externalities, like scuttling the good relationship that Francis was implausibly trying to maintain with the pseudo-Orthodoxy that's currently en vogue in Russia.

     The interesting wrinkle there is that Met. Hilarion of Budapest (formerly of Volokolamsk, a titular see belonging to the head of the Department on External Church Relations), is one of the biggest opponents of the Ukraine War in the Church in Russia and was demoted principally for questioning the regime narrative. He also is, as your CruxNow article indicates, pretty liberal on ecumenical relations and has been open to some rather bespoke concepts in that realm, e.g. reconciling with OOs while not requiring them to agree to Chalcedon. He's about as close as you can get to a genuine liberal bishop in that part of the world and if even he thinks that Fiducia Supplicans is a dealbreaker, it portends ill for developing positive relations with any of the local churches in the East.
