Pope Francis has a message for the young: Don’t spend so much time on the Internet.

“Our life is made up of time, and time is a gift from God, so it is important that it be used in good and fruitful actions.” Activities cited by Francis as futile were: “chatting on the Internet or with smartphones, watching TV soap operas, and (using) the products of technological progress, which should simplify and improve the quality of life, but distract attention away from what is really important.”

The 77-year-old pope has Twitter accounts in several languages. They were first used by his predecessor Benedict in 2011, and his English-language account has 4.3 million followers.

    It’s not the time on the internet that is the problem, it what you are doing while you are there.

    Yes, it makes it tougher for those priests to find them and “council” them.
