Television and internet pornography makes celibacy difficult, says an influential Mexican bishop. “With so much invasion of eroticism, sometimes it’s not easy to stay celibate or to respect children,” Bishop Felipe Arizmendi said during an annual meeting of Mexican bishops near Mexico City on Thursday (local time), according to a Reuters report on ABC.
“If on television and on the internet and in so many media outlets there is pornography, it is very difficult to stay pure and chaste,” said Bishop Arizmendi, an influential bishop from the colonial town of San Cristobal de las Casas in southern Mexico.
Mexico is home to the world’s second-largest Roman Catholic population after Brazil and the country has been rocked by its own share of allegations against Catholic leaders.
