Last month, Pope Francis said in an interview with the newspaper La Voz del Pueblo to 25 who do not watch television and also does not use Internet. Without intending to his followers to follow this extreme example, the Holy Father gave some advice on the use of new technologies to the faithful who heard in a meeting with young people in Sarajevo, which were shared today by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications .
1.Saber choose
“You have to choose the programs, and this is our responsibility. If I see that a program is not good for me, take me by land values, makes me vulgar, even with dirty things, I have to change channels as they did in my day ‘stone’ when a book was good, what you read, when a book you. hurt, what you pulled. “
2.” The bad fantasy “
Beware of” bad fantasy, the fantasy that kills the soul “. “If you, who are young, live connected to the computer and you become a slave to the computer, you lose freedom. And if you are looking for dirty programs on the computer, you lose dignity.” Both on television and the Internet “no dirty things, ranging from pornography to the semi-pornography”.
3. “Empty programs”
Note also “empty programs without values: for example, relativistic, hedonistic, consumerist programs that promote all these things.” “We know that consumerism is a cancer of society. Of that I discuss in the next encyclical, due out this month.”
4. “In a common room in the house”
Computers and TVs should be in a common room in the house. “There are very concerned parents who do not have computers allow room for the kids. Computers should be in a common room in the house These are small grants that parents are” to prevent children from being exposed to all such .. material
5 “Slave”
“Being too attached to computers, mobile phones and so hurts the soul and removes freedom: you . a slave of the media It’s funny, in many families dads and moms tell me: “We are at the table with the children, and they with the mobile phone are in another world” “
.” True, the virtual language is a reality we can not deny: we take the right path, because it is a progress of mankind But when we take out of the common life, family life, social life, and. Also sport, art. and we were glued to the computer, it is a disease. “.
In addition, Pope Francisco, the head of the international channel Canal Orbe 21, explained what is “the responsibility of television centers”: “to programs that help, that are good for the values that build society, leading us forward, that do not shoot us down. And then make programs that help values, true values are becoming stronger and prepare us for life “.
