Rocketman: Did the Vatican fund a film about Elton John?

A reported link between the Vatican and a film celebrating Sir Elton John has resurfaced after a controversial Church decision on same-sex unions.

On Monday the Vatican’s doctrine office said the Church could not bless same-sex unions as God «cannot bless sin», BBC reports.

The declaration was approved by Pope Francis, who has expressed support for gay couples.

«How can the Vatican refuse to bless gay marriages because they ‘are sin,’ yet happily make a profit from investing millions in ‘Rocketman’ – a film which celebrates my finding happiness from my marriage to David??» Sir Elton tweeted.

At the end of the tweet, he added the hashtag «hypocrisy».
