Pope Francis caused a stir with a recent statement. During a meeting with seminarians and priests in Rome, one of the questions discussed was whether the use of smartphones and the Catholic faith go together.
Pope Francis commented on modern technologies and brought up the topic of porn. These are “sins”, and not just “criminal pornography”, but also “somewhat normal ones”. As a good Catholic, you should stay away from porn, the church leader told priests and seminarians at a priests' conference in Rome. “This is how the devil enters,” said the now 85-year-old pope.

Pope Francis has warned aspiring and young priests about pornography on the Internet
Pope Francis has warned aspiring and young priests about pornography on the Internet.
“It is a vice that so many people have; so many lay people, but also priests and religious women. The devil comes from there,” said the Pope (Monday) in an interview with seminarians and priests studying in Rome, as the Vatican announced on Wednesday. He's not just talking about criminal pornography, such as child abuse; he means “somewhat ‘normal’ pornography”. “The pure heart that receives Jesus every day cannot receive this pornographic information”; They weaken the heart, said the Pope. He called on participants to delete pornographic content from their computers and cell phones. “And if you can’t put it out, defend yourself well so you don’t end up in such a situation,” the 85-year-old warned. At the same time, Francis encouraged seminarians and priests to use social networks as a means of communication. They performed a service “to advance in life.”
