During a conversation in Vatican City, Pope Francis declared that pornography was a vice that even nuns and priests were susceptible to. The pope advised everyone to remove pornography from their mobile devices, even priests and nuns.
Online pornography has risks, according to Pope Francis, who described it as a temptation that "weakens the priestly heart." Pope Francis stated that the finest use of social media and digital technology is to "share the joy of being Christians" when replying to a wide range of queries from priests and seminarians residing in Rome.
Priests Watch Porn
Pope Francis, the head of the Catholic Church, reiterated his criticism of the "dangers of online pornography" on Wednesday, October 26. He claimed that many people, including priests and nuns, had this vice. He has frequently cautioned people against viewing pornographic material. Pope Francis demanded in June that pornography be classified as a "threat to public health."
Pope Francis discussed the best ways to use digital and social media during discussions with priests and seminarians studying in Rome.
“Each of you thinks if you’ve had the experience or had the temptation of digital pornography, "Pope stated while discussing the use of social media. It’s a vice that so many people have, so many laymen, so many laywomen, and even priests and nuns added Pope Francis.
He continued by saying that he is not merely referring to criminal pornography, such as child abuse, where viewers can observe actual abuse. But of the more "normal" pornography.
Despite admitting he didn't own or use a phone, the 85-year-old head of the Catholic Church pushed his followers to do so to improve communication.
Before addressing a more significant issue, he advised against obsessively watching the news and engaging in music that would keep one from their work. The group should "delete such things from their mobile phones," he said, adding that they should do this to keep temptation away from them.
This pornographic information cannot be received by a pure heart, the kind of heart that accepts Jesus every day, he stated.
