In his audience in the Vatican, the Pope spoke about “the great love story written by God” between a man and a woman.
Christianity does not condemn sexuality, Pope Francis stated this week in its general audience In the Vatican.
“Sexual pleasure is a gift from God, which is eroded by pornography,” Francis said on Wednesday.
The Pope's speech was also reported on the Catholic Church's news website Vatican News in Finnish writing.
“Satisfaction without a human relationship can give rise to various forms of addiction,” the Pope continued. “We must defend love, love of the heart, love of the mind, body, pure love, where a person gives himself to another. This is the beauty of sexual intercourse.”
Papal audiences are events organized on Wednesdays where he offers lessons. Now there is a teaching series about virtues and vices.
According to Vatican News, at the beginning of his speech, Francis recalled the teaching of the Church Fathers, according to which, in addition to gluttony, sexual lust is also a vice that “crouches at the door of the heart.” The Pope stated that “a gluttonous person craves food, while sexual lust preys on another person”.
Francis stated that Christianity does not condemn sexual indulgence per se.
“The love of a man and a woman already belongs to the great love story written by God in creation,” the Pope said.
