Pope Francis Meets Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez - Vatican

Pope Francis meets Argentinian Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez, Prefect of the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith at the Vatican on April 11, 2024. Recently the Cardinal Fernandez responded to criticism about a book he wrote as a young priest describing orgasms in graphic terms. The out-of-print, Spanish-language book entitled ‘The Mystical Passion: Spirituality and Sensuality,’ is similar in tone to another Fernandez book that sparked scandal soon after he was appointed, ‘Heal Me With Your Mouth. The Art of Kissing.’ In its final chapters, Fernandez delves into orgasms, including graphic descriptions of male and female sexual anatomy and his commentary about sexual desire, pornography, sexual satisfaction and domination, and the role of pleasure in God’s mystical plan. An influential Catholic organization asked Pope Francis to dismiss the Cardinal Fernandez. Photo: (EV) Vatican Media/ABACAPRES.COM
