S#x Outside Marriage Is Not The Most Serious Sin — Pope Francis

The Leader of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis, has said that se x outside of marriage is not the most serious sin but ‘pride and hatred’.

He said this during a press conference aboard his flight back to Italy from Greece on Monday when he was asked about the resignation of the Archbishop of Paris, Michel Aupetit, who a French magazine claimed had engaged in an intimate relationship with a woman.

In response, the Pope said, “It was a failing on his part, a failing against the sixth commandment, but not a total one. There is sin there but not the worst kind….Sins of the flesh are not the most serious.”

Rather, he said that pride and hatred were “the most serious” of sins,Independent UK reports.

Recall that the pope had accepted the resignation of Archbishop Michel Aupetit of Paris, the Spiritual leader of the Catholic Church in the French capital for having an affair with a woman.
