Pope Francis has praised the virtues of sex in a documentary released on Wednesday, describing it as “one of the beautiful things that God has given to the human person.”
The 86-year-old pontiff made the comment in the Disney+ production “The Pope Answers”, which captures a meeting he had last year in Rome with 10 people in their early 20s.

So anything that detracts from real sexual expression lessens you and depletes this richness,” he said, referring to masturbation.” is, and he replied affirmatively. He repeated that LGBT people must be welcomed by the Catholic Church. On abortion, Francis said priests should be “merciful” towards women who have terminated a pregnancy, but said the practice remains unacceptable.
