Sex and food is a 'divine' pleasure that reaches directly to God: Pope Francis

New Delhi, Saturday 12 September 2020

Pope Francis made the bizarre claim that sex and food are divine pleasures that reach directly to God, as one of the progressive clergy of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis, said in an interview for author Carlo Petrini's book TerraFutura. Condemning the idea, he said that it was a sophisticated moral decision, which caused a lot of damage, which can still be felt strongly today. The pope's statement has sparked controversy.

Pope Francis said the pleasure of eating is good for keeping you healthy, just as physical intercourse guarantees to make love more beautiful and to continue the species, adding that it has greatly damaged the opposing ideas that are still felt in some things today. Yes, he said, the pleasure of food and sexual bliss reconcile with God.

Pope Francis' attitude towards sex has slowly evolved, he admitted the pleasure of sex in 2016 and said that married couples need to maintain that pleasure during their marriage, in 2018 he told young Francis people to love sex for a lifetime between a man and a woman. The signal was shown.

Born in Jorge Bergoglio, Argentina, Francis said there is no place for overzealous morality, which denies pleasure, some were present in the church in the past but misinterpreted the Christian message.

The book "TerraFutura, Conversations with Pope Francis on Integral Ecology", published Wednesday, is written by Petrini, founder of the global slow food movement that began in the 1980s to oppose fast food, in an interview with the book's social face
