Pope: You Shall Not Use Phones in Church Mass; Mass Encounters Passion, Resurrection of Christ

In what may remind Christians of the Ten Commandments, Pope Francis told an audience today (November 8, 2017) that Mass is not a show, but a beautiful, transformative encounter with the true loving presence of Christ, according to the America Magazine website.


That is why people need to focus their hearts on God, not focus their smartphones for pictures during Mass, he said.


When the priest celebrating Mass says, "Let us lift up our hearts," he is not saying, "lift up our cellphones and take pictures. No. It's an awful thing" to do, the pope said today during his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square.


"Please, Mass is not a show. It is going to encounter the Passion, the Resurrection of the Lord," he said to applause.
