Francis Receives Priests To Talk About…. PORN

Internet pornography is a vice that "so many people have, even priests and nuns", Francis seems to know.

He came up with the topic on his own when he spoke to Roman clergy on 26 October. The original question to him was how priests can share their "Christian joy" on social media without being too exposed or arrogant.

Francis responded with what he didn't want to say, while insisting he doesn't use internet devices, "I'm not going to say raise your hand if you've had at least one experience with it [= porn]. I'm not going to say that."

Stressing that he was "not just talking about criminal pornography" but "about 'normal' pornography", he added: "I'm telling you, it weakens the soul." And, "The devil comes from there: it weakens the priestly heart."

In Mt 12 Christ says that "the mouth speaks out of what fills the heart".

Pornography is not a thing to be argued about with one's intellect, but to be stamped on with one's heel. - GK Chesterton

Kind of hypocritical, since probably 90% of his appointees and Vatican staff watch/excite themselves over gay porn every day.

Although this is indeed a trouble of our digital age, I can sadly ponder that there are anguished souls among us hoping to restore their relationship with God through a return to the confessional who would be apprehensive about confessing that which might harm the soul of their confessor given the latter's possible predilection for the pornographic. Trust, once broken, is very hard to revive.
