Pope Francis granted three brief interviews to writer and environmentalist, Carlo Petrini, who proclaims his agnosticism. These were published in Italy on Wednesday in a volume entitled Terrafutura. In it, the Pope and the author reminisce about their grandmothers' cooking, and venture beyond gastronomic topics.
Pope Francis has touted life’s joys such as a delicious meal and loving sexual intercourse as “divine”, unjustly falling victim to “overzealousness” on the part of the Catholic Church in the past, according to a newly-published book, cited by AFP.
According to “TerraFutura, conversations with Pope Francis on integral ecology” by Italian writer Carlo Petrini, based on conversations with the pontiff, the 83-year-old, born in Jorge Bergoglio in Argentina, insists:
"Pleasure arrives directly from God, it is neither Catholic, nor Christian, nor anything else, it is simply divine."
The pontiff acknowledged in the book, published Wednesday, that the church had previously sought to promote an “overzealous morality” that denied pleasure, adding it was “a wrong interpretation of the Christian message”, according to the outlet.
“The Church has condemned inhuman, brutish, vulgar pleasure, but has on the other hand always accepted human, simple, moral pleasure,” he said.
Opposing views, states Pope Francis, “have caused enormous harm, which can still be felt strongly today”.
“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,” says the Pope.

Just Babylon
Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.
