Pope Leo XIV has told children at the Vatican’s summer camp that phones and tablets should not take the place of real friendship, family conversation or prayer.
Speaking on Monday during a visit to Estate Ragazzi, the summer camp for children of Vatican employees, the Pope answered questions from young participants and urged them to use technology with care.
The camp’s theme this year is Jules Verne’s Around the World in 80 Days. During the encounter, one child asked the Pope about the difficulty of putting away screens during the school year.
