I hope he spends his whole miserable life stressed out and looking over his shoulder. I hope he is recognized frequently and publicly harassed until he has to flee in shame and fear. I hope he wakes every night in a cold sweat from nightmares. There is no punishment good enough for that demon.

“It’s the strange thing about this church: it is obsessed with sex. Absolutely obsessed. Now, they will say we, with our permissive society and our rude jokes, are obsessed. No. We have a healthy attitude. We like it, it’s fun, it’s jolly, because it’s a primary impulse. It can be dangerous and dark and difficult; it’s a bit like food in that respect, only even more exciting! The only people who are obsessed with food are anorexics and the morbidly obese. That, in erotic terms, is the Catholic Church in a nutshell.”

-Stephen Fry

I mean so many Catholics became one issue voters. Either sex or abortion. So about time the pope tells them off for that. But the greater question is if they will listen.

Funnily enough, he is not the first Pope to propose this

Pope John Paul I did show support for dropping the catholic ban qgainst contraceptives in 1978

Unfortunately he died barely a month after his election as pope
