Parents should not let children use computers in their bedrooms, the pope has said, while warning them of the dangers of Internet "filth," the Daily Mail (British) website reports today (June 8, 2015).
Pope Francis -- who has some 19 million Twitter followers -- also revealed he believed computers to be "bad for the soul" as he launched into a lecture on the dangers of the Internet age.
He praised those parents who were concerned about their children's exposure to pornographic material on the web, and only allowed the use of computers in common areas.
"It is part of the progress of mankind," the pope said. "But when it takes away from communal and family life, social life, sport, art, and we remain attached to our computers, this is a psychological illness."
