Sex is a gift from God and real love is passionate, Pope Francis told youths from a French diocese at a Vatican audience Monday.
"Sexuality, sex is a gift from God. No taboos. It is a gift from God, a gift which the Lord gives us," Francis told the young people from the Grenoble-Vienne diocese.
"It has two goals: to love one another and generate life. It is a passion, it is passionate love. True love is passionate.
Love between a man and a woman, when it is passionate, leads you to give your life forever.
"Forever. And to give it with the body and soul".
