Sex Outside Marriage Is ‘Not The Most Serious Sin’ –Pope Francis

Pope Francis has said that sex outside of marriage is not the most serious sin. 

The leader of the Catholic church said this during a press conference aboard his flight back to Italy from Greece on Monday when he was asked about the resignation of the Archbishop of Paris, Michel Aupetit, who a French magazine claimed had engaged in an intimate relationship with a woman.

In response, the Pope said, “It was a failing on his part, a failing against the sixth commandment, but not a total one. There is sin there but not the worst kind….Sins of the flesh are not the most serious.”

Rather, he said that pride and hatred were “the most serious” of sins.

A suspected ritualist on Saturday in Offa Local Government Area of Kwara State allegedly killed a nine year old girl, Faith Samuel of Onireke area for ‘ritual purposes.’

The suspect, Alade James, of Alawe compound, Offa, was said to have killed the victim and buried her with a N1000 note in what sources said was for money ritual.

It was gathered that he ran out of luck after some residents got wind of the incident and alerted the police.

Sources also said the corpse has since been exhumed and deposited at the mortuary.

The Kwara State Police command confirmed the corpse was buried with the money on Sunday adding that ‘investigation is still ongoing.’

According to the command’s spokesperson, Ajayi Okasanmi, the suspect has confessed to the crime and will be charged to court after the completion of investigation.

“At about 1812hrs of Saturday, acting on an actionable intelligence, a team of police men arrested a man by name Alade James of Alawe compound Offa, who buried a corpse with N1000 at Ikotun area of Offa.

“The suspect confessed to the killing for money making ritual while the Commissioner of Police, Tuesday Assayomo has ordered a discreet investigation into the murder”, he added.

The Taraba State University (TSU) chapter of the Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) has sought divine intervention on the prolonged strike action embarked by the body.

In a prayer session held at separate grounds on Tuesday, November 3, Christian and Muslim members of the chapter sought celestial control over the crisis that has long pitched varsity lecturers against the federal government.

Legit.ng recalls that the recent and last meeting, which was held on Wednesday, October 28, between ASUU leadership and the federal government hit the bricks as both parties failed to reach a unilateral agreement on the adoption of University Transparency and Accountability Solution (UTAS).

A federal government team led by the minister of labour and employment, Chris Ngige, refused that the N30 billion earned allowance promised to the lecturers be paid through a platform different from Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS).

ASUU chairman, Professor Biodun Ogunyemi, stood the ground on UTAS, with both sides agreeing to consult their principals.

The body has since accused the federal government of frustrating its demand despite the agreement between both parties.

Speaking after the prayers, former vice-chairman of the Taraba university union, Mbave Joshua, stated that the prolonged strike was not ordinary as there are many issues to be addressed like funding of the universities.
