Pope Francis recently told reporters that “sins of the flesh are not the most serious.” “Sins of the flesh are not the most serious,” the pope explained, referring to sexual relationships outside marriage. Instead, he said that pride and hatred are “the most serious of sins.” The pope’s comments were made while being questioned about the resignation of Archbishop Michel Aupetit, the disgraced archbishop of Paris, France. Archbishop Aupetit had resigned in early December after admitting to an 'ambiguous' relationship with a woman in 2012, a relationship that many viewed as inappropriate or even a breach of his vows of celibacy. He told the reporters that he accepted Aupetit's resignation, not because of the sin but the "damaging rumors." According to him, Aupetit was unfit to govern due to the rumors and how the public opinion surrounding him had become toxic. The pope also expounded on his responses, saying, “it was a failure against the sixth commandment [thou shall not commit adultery], but not a total one.”
