That doesn't mean you can diddle kids you weirdo
Ah yes that's obviously what he said
Pretty sure sexual pleasure is the result of friction, nerve endings, a bunch of neuro-chemicals, and a whole lot of fetishes. If anyone is letting us enjoy sexual pleasure, it’s the other department.
Friction. 🤮 No. NO.
Hate to break it to you, but friction is literally what causes most of the sensation to be felt. Too much friction seems to be what you're thinking of
Under half of women orgasm from penetration alone, and for about one in ten it's outright painful. For me it does pretty much nothing. I guess we could move to whether air and vibrations on clit count as friction, but I'm pretty sure that's not what anyone had in mind. Nor whether kisses and general intimate closeness count as "sexual pleasure".
This seems consistent with what I learned in CCD and Catholic school in the 90s-00s. We were always told that sexual pleasure was increased in a marriage and a sign of god blessing the marriage, whereas sexual pleasure outside of a marriage was cheap and damaging.
Edit: side note, I didn’t think this fucked me up until I got married and realized I’d felt ashamed every other time I’d had sex. I never believed in god, and this is pretty obviously trying to steer behavior, so I thought I was unaffected, but it’s still a brain virus
Do Catholics wank?
Does the Pope shit in the woods?
I... I don't know? I don't think so?
Being ashamed of and being shamed for sex has permeated into society, no one is completely immune to it.
That would be doctrinal breaktrough, but the long strings of popes saying whatever they find convenient at the moment tuned the formal requirements for pope to be infallible pretty high. And i won't even mention that whatever cool thing Francis ever said as a pope have exactly zero influence on church reality.
That would be doctrinal breaktrough
No it wouldn't. This is a standard way of talking about marriage in oppressive religions, including Catholicism
So by "relationships" he just meant "marriage" as church always did? It's clear from the context he is not, since lower there is mentions of "same-sex relationships", not to mention even the word itself suggest any something wider.
I think he's intentionally vague when using the word relationships. The word does not explicitly mean any one thing. But yeah sex within marriage has always been praised in Christianity. It's been a big selling point of marriage in general. I don't see anything in the article to suggest he's explicitly blessed homosexual sex or truly changed any doctrine.
So is the pope speaking for/to God or not? Fucking Religions can't even be consistent within their own made up framework.

Speak for Christianity, don't drag us with it.
No, they’re all full of shit
From your wording and the upvote ratio, I conclude this conversation is going nowhere, I hope you find the right path.
Make sure to protect your head when you get off that high horse, it’s quite the fall.
There is no right path, make the best of life you can and if the gods have a problem with that then they didn’t deserve worship to begin with.
Would you go to hell instead of me if I do that? (to rephrase it, would you take responsibility?) (you can't)
