Pope Francis made the remarks after being asked how the next generation of priests and seminarians should utilise modern media properly to disseminate the Christian faith.
According to the Pope, even priests and nuns succumb to temptation and browse online pornography.
In response to a question at the Vatican, Francis stated: “It is a vice that affects a large number of people, including ordinary people, lay women, priests, and nuns. From there, the devil enters.”
He stated that he was not only talking to “criminal pornography such as child abuse,” but also to “regular pornography.”
