Does he mean sex with the alter boys?

[for-q-clinton]

Pretty soon when people praise jesus in his church it’s going to look a whole lot different. You may need to close your eyes and ears because you probably won’t want to see what it looks like.

"Pope Francis Declares Sex and Eating Are 'Divine' Pleasures Sent by God"

[Gay State Conservative]

Is he endorsing hedonism and gluttony?

[HangnJudge]

Eating is necessary, give thanks to The Lord
Paul says it is “better” to remain celibate, and if you marry, there will be... problems
Sex without marriage is forbidden

[Ken522]

The IMPOSTER speaketh ....

[time4good]

Technically, the title of the post is correct. They DO come
from God and He purposely made them pleasurable.
BUT He also put constraints for proper context. Sex in marriage (Hebrews says ‘The bed in marriage is undefiled‘) and gluttony is a sin.

Anything else Francis said I’d take with a grain of salt.

[An Appeal to Heaven]

Does this Pope know what “divine” means?

[a fool in paradise]

Faggotry is the devil’s delight

[a fool in paradise]

How queer. Is adultery as divine pleasure??

[AF_Blue]

An Italian wife who knows how to cook?

Sounds divine to me.

Better check Epstein’s flight logs again.

Let US pray that misguided; immigration, Islam, and climate bridge builder Pope Francis gets a Colonel Boggie moment ( the lead character in the movie Bridge On The River Qwai played by Alex Guinness) and does a mea culpa and finally decides to question the results of what he’s done what he’s done and falls on the detonator which destroys the bridges he built) and resigns.

Now, along comes Pope Francis, who blesses the sex act, calling it a “divine gift.” He also praises the pleasures of eating as from God.

I don't think he is necessarily wrong about this. Enjoying and being thankful for sexual intimacy within the context of marriage IS a gift from God as is eating delicious food provided by God's creation. The "sin" part is in the WRONG or Biblically proscribed use of them.

At the rate he’s going, he’ll whittle down those Seven Deadly Sins to just one or two.

Well, those "Seven Deadly Sins" are not explicitly in the Bible and did not even originate with the Greeks or Romans, there were ancient precedents for them.

Origin of the currently recognized seven deadly sins

The modern concept of the seven deadly sins is linked to the works of the fourth-century monk Evagrius Ponticus, who listed eight evil thoughts in Greek as follows:[8][9]

1. Γαστριμαργία (gastrimargia) gluttony
2. Πορνεία (porneia) prostitution, fornication
3. Φιλαργυρία (philargyria) avarice (greed)
4. Λύπη (lypē) sadness – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as envy, sadness at another's good fortune
5. Ὀργή (orgē) wrath
6. Ἀκηδία (akēdia) acedia – in the Philokalia, this term is rendered as dejection
7. Κενοδοξία (kenodoxia) boasting
8. Ὑπερηφανία (hyperēphania) pride – sometimes rendered as self-overestimation, arrogance, grandiosity [10]
They were translated into the Latin of Western Christianity (largely due to the writings of John Cassian),[11][12] thus becoming part of the Western tradition's spiritual pietas (or Catholic devotions), as follows:[13]
1. Gula (gluttony)
2. Luxuria/Fornicatio (lust, fornication)
3. Avaritia (avarice/greed)
4. Tristitia (sorrow/despair/despondency)
5. Ira (wrath)
6. Acedia (sloth)
7. Vanagloria (vainglory)
8. Superbia (pride, hubris)

These "evil thoughts" can be categorized into three types:[13]

• lustful appetite (gluttony, fornication, and avarice)
• irascibility (wrath)
• mind corruption (vainglory, sorrow, pride, and discouragement) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins

There's not much I agree with Pope Francis about, but I don't think we should just knee-jerk reject everything he supposedly says especially when related by a secular writer.

"... Sex and Eating Are 'Divine' Pleasures Sent by God..." "Eating" is a form of sex...isn't it?😎

[metmom]

Now, along comes Pope Francis, who blesses the sex act, calling it a “divine gift.” He also praises the pleasures of eating as from God. At the rate he’s going, he’ll whittle down those Seven Deadly Sins to just one or two.

Who knew that sex and eating were some of the seven deadly sins?

And Catholics keep trying to tell me that Catholicism doesn’t teach that sex is bad or sinful and now there’s backlash when the pope says it.

He left out afternoon naps.

[Zize55]

Hah. And he thinks logically, without food and sex there would be no humanity
