Pope Francis warns against excessive use of social media:
Pope Francis has urged nuns not to let social media distract them from their religious duties.
In the document entitled Vultum Dei Quaerere (Seeking the face of God), the head of the Catholic Church told nuns to be wary of the dangers of social media and be careful not to “waste time” or use it to escape the demands of religious life.
While the Pontiff acknowledged that smartphones, laptops and tablets provided “useful help for formation and communication”, he said they could be time consuming and distracting.
“Nor should they prove harmful for your vocation or become an obstacle to your life wholly dedicated to contemplation,” he concluded.

The Pope is not incorrect when he slams social media and the time wasted, but we might all be better off if he and his supporters got into Pokemon Go! and stayed there for the rest of his papacy.
