In-part:
“The church has condemned inhuman, brutish, vulgar pleasure, but has on the other hand always accepted human, simple, moral pleasure,” Francis said. “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. ... The pleasure of eating and sexual pleasure [comes] from God.”
How the eff would he know?
@SeaGreenEyez Priests? Pedophile is more appropriate.
I suppose he knows from the sordid tales told to him by his mass of Paedophile Priests and the Nuns whom priests have impregnated over the centuries.
After all, he IS the Pope, i.e. Protector of Paedophile Employees is he not?
@SeaGreenEyez Sarcasm and Truth all rolled into one I'd say.
@SeaGreenEyez Why bother, IF they can't see the sarcasm, etc, then, imo, it is their problem and NOT yours.
I do not believe in having sex with my food.
You missing out. Getting a blowjob while sitting down eating a steak.... is my all time best steak. Granted I don't think I finished either but...
Considering Church history this sounds like a trap.
A lot of the hard line Catholics don't like him because of his 'loose talk'.
I am sure catholic priests had received more Info about sexual pleasures than a sex therapist. Heck... I was raised a catholic until age 12 when I bailed out... never to comeback. On my last few confessions I was cussed out by the priets that listened to my sins. Mentioning my first orgy was not such a good idea. He wanted names!!!! I said No.
Trumpy, and god, always trying to claim un-earned credit ....
As I grow older and wiser, there is no doubt that humans need physical intimacy. Maslow's hierarchy of needs spells it out. But the RCC says that even thinking about intimacy, outside of marriage anyway, is "unpure".
This is where the teachings of Jesus are stricter than the established Jewish laws. Under Jewish law it was only a sin to commit adultery; Jesus changed this to it being a sin to even think about it--ie thought crimes/sins. When a god sees your every move and knows your every thought, it has a lot more control over you.
Didn't God watch "Minority Report"?
Thought police are wrong.
