An all-out dialogue with a group of young people: it is the documentary "Amen" which sees the Pope as the protagonist and which will be broadcast on Disney+.
Speaking to a young woman who sells pornographic content online, the Pope, according to reports from the Osservatore Romano, says: "Those who are addicted to pornography are as if they were addicted to a drug that keeps them at a level that doesn't let them grow" .
The dialogue then moves on to the theme of masturbation and the Pope says to the young people: "Sex is one of the beautiful things that God has given to the human person. Expressing yourself sexually is an asset. So anything that diminishes real sexual expression diminishes you too and it impoverishes this richness in you.Sex has its own dynamics, it has its own raison d'être.
The expression of love is probably the central point of sexual activity.
Then everything that drags it to you in another direction and takes it away from that direction diminishes your sexual activity". The Pontiff admits that Christians have not always had a mature catechesis on sex.
