“Sins of the flesh are not the most serious.”

During a question and answer session with reporters on a flight back to Italy from Greece on Monday, the Pope said: The Pope was also asked about the resignation of the Archbishop of Paris, Michel Aupetit, who offered to step down earlier this month after a French magazine claimed he had engaged in an intimate relationship with a woman.

The Archbishop denied the affair, and said: “I poorly handled the situation with a person who was in contact many times with me.” The sixth commandment says “you shall not commit adultery”, which applies to people having sex outside of their marriages but the Pope suggested it could apply to priests who don’t stay celibate.“We’re all sinners. When the gossip grows and grows and removes someone’s good name, he cannot govern,” he said.
