The leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis has admitted that some nuns and priests do watch pornography.
He accordingly advised Roman fathers and sisters to stop watching porn, as the devil enters thoughts through it.
Further advising priests and seminarians, Pope Francis said they should utilize social media for good, but not spend too much time on it.
The admonition of the Pope is appropriate since not all men of God possess the capacity to resist temptation.
The head of the Roman Catholic Church claims that pornographic media “weakens the priestly heart” and separates Christians from Christ.
When asked how digital and social media should be handled, the 86-year-old issued a word of caution at a session in the Vatican.
The devil “enters from” watching porn, the Pope warned priests and seminarians, so they should avoid it.
The Pope bemoaned “a sin that so many people have… including priests and nuns.” “This pornographic information cannot be received by the pure heart, the one that Jesus receives every day.”
“I will not say, ‘raise your hand if you have had at least one experience of this’,” the pope said. “But if each of you think you have had the experience or temptation … It is a vice that so many people have. So many laymen, so many laywomen, and also priests and nuns. The devil enters from there. And I’m not just talking about digital pornography like that of child abuse, this is already degeneracy. Dear brothers, pay attention to this.”
“…delete this from your phone, so you will not have temptation in hand.”
Despite admitting he didn’t own or use a phone, the 86-year-old leader of the Catholic Church pushed his followers to do so in order to improve communication.
