In a seminar in Rome on Monday, the pontiff warned against the "devil" of watching pornography, but revealed that priests and nuns who watch online porn are doing wrong. The head of Catholic Church, 85, made the remarks in response to a question about how the new generation of the clergymen and women have immersed in social media, and how they can use digital tools to "share the joy about being Christian, without forgetting our identity or being too exposed and arrogant'. In reply to this question, Francis implored the seminarians to use social media 'to advance, to communicate' while also warning them about the dangers, "namely digital pornography."

"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.
