Seun Kuti to couple: Pope has said it, forgive when adultery is committed

Singer Seun Kuti has reacted after Pope Francis said sex outside marriage is “not the most serious sin”.

The Independent of the UK had quoted 84-year-old Pope Francis as saying: “Sins of the flesh are not the most serious.”

He added: “Pride and hatred are the most serious.”

Pope Francis said this in answer to a question about the Archbishop of Paris Michel Aupetit, who resigned last week over an ambiguous relationship with a woman.

Reacting to the Pope’s statement, Kuti referred to the Catholic Church leader as a “bad boy”, while noting that couples should forgive each other when one party cheats.

He wrote: “Pope say it is not so bad to commit adultery (bad boy).

“So wives forgive your husbands but more importantly, husbands forgive your wives.”
