That is a heck of an admission by Pope Francis, shame on all of you.
It also makes me thing “ewwww” in remembering the priests and nuns from my grade school days in a Catholic elementary school.
“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 lay women, and even priests and nuns,” Pope Francis said.
“And I’m not just talking about criminal pornography like child abuse, where you see live cases of abuse: that’s already degeneracy. But of the more ‘normal’ pornography,” he continued.
“Dear brothers, be careful of this. The pure heart, the heart that receives Jesus every day, cannot receive this pornographic information,” he said on Monday, telling the audience to “delete it” from cellphones “so you won’t have temptation in your hand.”
“The devil enters from there: it weakens the priestly heart. Excuse me for going down to these details about pornography, but there is a reality: a reality that touches priests, seminarians, nuns, consecrated souls.”
