Head of the Roman Catholic Church, Pope Francis has waded into the ‘taboo’ topic of sex, describing it as a gift from God.

Speaking while addressing a group of young people from the Diocese of Grenoble-Vienne France, the Pope termed sexual relations between a man and woman as passionate love because true love is passionate.

“Sexually, sex, is a gift of God. Not taboo. Love between a man and a woman when it is passionate, it leads you to give your life forever. And to give it with your body and soul” Pope said.
