Pope Francis encouraged the faithful gathered in Saint Peter’s Square on Sunday to talk with each other at mealtimes instead of using their cellphones.
“We have to get back to communicating in our families,” the Pope said during his weekly Angelus address at the Vatican City. […]
Sunday marked the day of the Holy Family in the Catholic calendar, a day on which Jesus, Mary and Joseph are venerated as the model Christian family.
They “prayed, worked and communicated with each other,” the pope said of the Holy Family.
“I ask myself if your family know how to communicate, or are you like those kids at meal tables where everyone is chatting on their mobile phone … where there is silence like at a Mass,” the pope asked the crowd. …

OMG! Francis said something reasonably intelligent! (and that I agree with).
He’ll make up for it in short order.
Ahh! He had a broken clock moment. LOL
Has he ever used a smartphone or is he reading from a script?
We need a pope to tell us this?
First thing the anti-Pope Francis has ever said with which I agree...
Well, that is one atta-boy but he has a lot of AwS to make up for. 9,999 to go for this round.
Is that before or after praying to Pachamama for Islam to take over Christian lands?
He’ll make up for it in short order.
><
That’s for sure. Probably tomorrow.
LOL
Yes he will.
At this point it may be Bad when he says something rational.
It will give many false hope.
I pray for him to change and would love nothing more.
But that would indeed take a miracle.
Bergoglio is majoring on the minors.
Rather, he should be eliminating homosexuals from the clergy, hewing to traditional Christianity, and eliminating the social justice warriors and liberation theology from the hierarchy.
But then again, he would have to eliminate himself in the process....
A blind squirrel finds an acorn.
He jumps on things like this but covers up the rot within the Catholic Church.
Yet another daily proclamation from the meddlesome pope.
Nice gesture Mr. Pope but it won't change a thing. AND what do you think we did 50 years ago when the phone in the living room rang and we were eating dinner? Yes, we answered it.

Yeah - but he still won’t preach Jesus....maybe he considers Jesus to be inferior to himself...
Francis is a charlatan and that is being overly generous as about his character.
Yep - when Francis says he wants folks to submit to the church, he means they can kiss his ring and ass....the trouble is that many think they should submit to the church because they think the Vatican and all those elevated mortals are the church and don’t realize the worshipers are the Church and it is their job to submit to God - not some self-proclaimed emissaries who refuse to submit to their Creator.
