Pope John Paul II urged husbands "not to commit adultery with their wives by desiring sex for its mere pleasure and the satisfaction of instinct" (Modras: 124, of 1980).
We weren't exactly expecting a sex positive response, but isn't it a tad over the top, and well, you know, WRONG to say that sex with your wife could even possibly be adulterous? The argument is that having sex for pleasure, rather than procreation, is against Church doctrine, but how on earth is that adulterous? Here's the definition of adultery, according to the Oxford dictionary, just so we're clear: (noun) voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse.
Interesting how this has nothing to do with sleeping with your wife. Just goes to show how solid everyone's reading of The Bible is (including those who define the words derived from it that we use every day.)

Asking the pope for advice on sex is like asking a Rabbi how to cure a ham.

Sounds like the Pope is jealous about him not being able to get it on, he's left with eyeing up those little alter boys.
The hideous stupidity of religion shows again..... and again ..... and again ..... and again

I believe that the pope and all Roman Catholic priests have sexual natures. Few Catholics believe what he has to say on sexuallity. There would be very small Catholic families even before modern birth control if it were true.
