Pope Francis: “The least serious sins are the sins of the flesh”

Pope Francis has said that sins of the flesh – that is, sins of lust or impurity – are “the least serious” of all sins. The controversial statement can be found in Chapter 5 of the book entitled “Pope Francis, the Path of Change in Politics and Society: A Future of Faith”. The book, released last August 2018, contains an interview of Pope Francis by the French sociologist and acknowledged agnostic, Dominique Wolton.
