Pope Francis insists sexual sins are ‘not the most serious’

This has been the standard Catholic view pretty much forever.
Dante makes it clear that lust is the sin that's least harshly punished and easiest to forgive.
In surveys, Italians tend to agree with this; they rank pride and greed as the worst. Americans usually have different views.
Dante made up what today would be a sci fi story of hell. There is a lot in his Inferno that never existed before, in the RCCs BS. He wasn't a member of the clergy, unless you can show me differently.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
