"Pope Francis Embraces Sex Positivity and Inclusivity in Church"

Pope Francis has praised sex as a "beautiful thing" and said that meeting romantic partners on dating apps is "normal" in a new documentary. He also stated that LGBTQ+ people must be welcomed by the Catholic Church and criticised members of the church who use the Bible to promote hate speech against gay or transgender people. The pontiff suggested that priests must "be merciful" towards women who have terminated a pregnancy, but maintained that the practice remains unacceptable.
