Pope Francis has said that the pleasures of a well-cooked meal or loving sexual intercourse are 'divine' in a newly-published book of interviews. 'Pleasure arrives directly from God, it is neither Catholic, nor Christian, nor anything else, it is simply divine,' the Pope told Italian writer Carlo Petrini. He added: 'The pleasure of eating and sexual pleasure come from God.' Pope Francis added that opposing views 'have caused enormous harm, which can still be felt strongly today'. The book 'TerraFutura, conversations with Pope Francis on integral ecology', written by Petrini, was published on September 9.
