Jorge Bergoglio, AKA Pope Francis I, says sins of the flesh
are not that serious.
Why did he wait until I was in my mid-70s to tell us that.
When I was attending high school, college, and serving
in the USMC, they told us we'd burn in hell for doing it.
It would have made for a lot less stress if they had told
us this back then.

A young monk arrives at the monastery. He is assigned to helping
the other monks in copying the old laws of the church by hand.
He notices, however, that all of the monks are copying from copies,
not from the original manuscript. So, the new monk goes to the head
monk to question this, pointing out that if someone made even a small
error in the first copy, it would never be picked up! In fact,
that error would be continued in all of the subsequent copies.
The head monk, says, "We have been copying from the copies for
centuries, but you make a good point, my son."
He goes down into the dark caves underneath the monastery where
the original manuscripts are held as archives in a locked vault
that hasn't been opened for hundreds of years. Hours go by and
nobody sees the head monk.
So, the young monk gets worried and goes down to look for him.
He sees him banging his head against the wall and wailing.
"We missed the R!
We missed the R!
We missed the R!"
His forehead is all bloody and bruised and he is crying
uncontrollably. The young monk asks the head monk, "What's wrong,
father?"
The head monk with tears in his eyes replies, "The word is
celebrate not celibate!"
