Pope Leo Encourages Young Uruguayans to Build Families, Strengthen Human Connections
News originally published by
MENAFNSpeaking before an audience of around 70,000 at Montevideo’s historic Estadio Centenario, the pontiff addressed thousands of young attendees during a prayer vigil.
Warning about the increasing isolation linked to digital technology, Leo stressed that online communication cannot take the place of direct human interaction.
"Nothing can replace real human contact," he said, urging young people to avoid withdrawing into the superficial environment created by screens and algorithms.
He encouraged them to engage with one another in person by making eye contact, holding hands and sharing both their difficulties and happy moments face-to-face.
The pope also raised concerns about the spread of secularization and declining religious engagement. He urged young Uruguayans to approach marriage and parenthood with courage rather than regarding having children as a burden.
