Episode notes
Sex As A Sacred Human Gift
- Pope Francis called sex "one of the beautiful things that God has given to the human person."
- Misusing sex (porn, masturbation, commodification) deprives people of a sacred richness and wounds them.
Welcoming People Doesn’t Mean Approving Acts
- Pope Francis emphasized welcoming non-binary and LGBT persons as children of God and belonging in the Church.
- Welcoming does not mean justifying sinful acts but affirms dignity and opens pastoral accompaniment.
Mercy And Truth Together On Abortion
- Francis said priests should be merciful to women who had abortions while still calling the practice unacceptable.
- Mercy is essential to invite repentance, while truth demands we call grave acts by their proper name.
