Pope Francis the first has warned catholic priests and nuns about the dangers and risks of watching pornography online, stating it “weakens the priestly heart”.
Pope Francis said this while responding to a query about how digital and social media should be best used at session in the Vatican.
Speaking on pornography, the Vatican said was “a vice that so many people have… even priests and nuns”.
“The devil enters from there,” the Pope told priests and seminarians.
When asked the right way to navigate the social media to the
digital world, he advised that social media should be used but so
much time should not be spent on it.
“The pure heart, the one that Jesus receives ever day, cannot receive this pornographic information,” he said
He further advised the the group to “delete this from your phone, so you will not have temptation in hand”.
The Roman Catholic church requires that all clerics ranging from
reverend fathers to Nuns to remain celibate – which is to detest
from things of the flesh like sex and marriage.
