In a recent Vatican meeting, Pope Francis spoke about the dangers of digital pornography
He warned seminarians of its dangers, saying that it’s a vice that many people have—including priests and nuns.
The Pope asked his audience to delete lewd images from their phones so as not to be tempted. He said that pornography weakens the priestly heart.
According to the Pontiff, pornography is a big problem because it’s so easy to access. Anyone with an internet connection can access pornographic content with just a few clicks.
This makes it easy for people to get caught up in a cycle of addiction.
He said: “Each of you think if you’ve had the experience or had the temptation of digital pornography.
“It’s a vice that so many people have, so many laymen, so many laywomen, and even priests and nuns.”
The Pope, 85, asked his audience to delete lewd images from their phones “so you won’t have temptation in your hand.”
He added: “It weakens the priestly heart.”
