Recently, during an interaction in Vatican City, Pope Francis commented on the dangers of online pornography and said that pornography was a vice, from which even nuns and priests were not free. He said all this while he was interacting with priests and other people studying in Rome on social and digital media and how it should be used.
During the interaction, he also urged everyone to delete any digital pornographic material from their phones to avoid any temptations.
He calls pornography as an immoral behaviour that each one of us including priests and nuns has been tempted to.
He has called pornography a threat to public health and constantly warns people against consuming such content. He gave this answer when asked to tell the best ways to use digital media.
According to him, a devil enters in us through such content and immensely weakens the priestly heart. During this interaction, he also mentioned that he was not just talking about criminal pornography like child abuse, where you see live cases of abuse, but of the more ‘normal’ pornography."
The Pope said that he himself does not use or own a mobile phone, and urged others to use it for better communication rather than indulging in things that might distract them. He cautioned the masses about obsessively watching the news and listening to music that distracts them.
Previously as well the Pope has been found discouraging pornography and calling it an attack on the dignity of men and women.
Taking this on a serious note he also added the pure heart that receives Jesus every day, cannot receive pornographic information.
