Pope Francis has told 50,00 German altar servers, young people who help the priest during religious services, who arrived to Rome on a pilgrimage that they shouldn't spend "too many hours on futile things."
According to the pontiff, who has several Twitter accounts, the high-speed world of online social media needed calm, reflection, and tenderness if it was to be "a network not of wires but of people."
Bishop Kieran Conry from the Catholic Youth Ministry Federation told Premier's News Hour that the Pope's message will resonate with many young people, he said: "I think one of the problems is that it changes the nature of relationships, or can do. I say to young people... How may friends have you got on Facebook? They'll say fifty, a hundred. I'll say no they're not your friends; they're not friends at all. You don't know them, some of them.. so there's just a need for caution I think"
Recently, the Pope also shared top ten tips for living a happy, peaceful and fulfilled life.
