Pope: ‘Sex is a beautiful thing’

In a recent documentary, Pope Francis has shared his views on a range of controversial topics including pornography, LGBTQI+ rights, and intercourse.

The pontiff described sex as one of the "beautiful things" that God has given to humans, emphasising that any action that detracts from real sexual expression would only deplete this richness. He also expressed his support for women seeking abortions, calling on priests to be "merciful" towards them.

The 86-year-old pontiff's comments were captured last year in Rome during a meeting with ten young people in their early 20s. The Disney+ documentary, 'The Pope: Answers', offers a rare insight into the Pope's personal views on contentious issues.
