Pope Francis: Don’t Waste Time on Internet, Smartphones

Pope_Francis_NEWS-smPope Francis heads to South Korea this coming week, where he’ll participate in several events, including Asian Youth Day. This week, he met with some 50,000 young German Catholics in St. Peter’s Square. Many of them were altar servers. Francis urged them not to waste too much time on the Internet and smart phones, saying those things can distract people from what’s really important.

Presumably, he didn’t mean to include his Twitter account, which currently has more than 4 million followers.
