Pope Francis Says Pleasures Are 'Simply Divine'
By: Tupaki Desk | 11 Sep 2020 7:14 AM GMT
Pope Francis said the pleasure of eating and sexual pleasure come from God. He called the pleasures of eating food and having sex "simply divine" in a book of interviews between Francis and writer Carlo Petrini.
According to Francis, pleasure comes directly from God, it is neither Catholic, nor Christian, nor anything else, it is simply divine.
He further said the Church has condemned inhuman, brutish, vulgar pleasure, but has on the other hand always accepted human, simple, moral pleasure.
"The pleasure of eating is there to keep you healthy by eating, just like sexual pleasure is there to make love more beautiful and guarantee the perpetuation of the species," Francis said.
The views in the past that have condemned all sex and pleasure "have caused enormous harm, which can still be felt strongly today," he added.
