Thank you for addressing the tech problem. I notice people communicate/interact less with others due to the internet. You see it everywhere where people are waiting and some do it purposely to avoid chatting. It makes society cold and uncaring even in family settings.
Thank you for your brilliant, down to earth analysis of the issues at stake, Father. I appreciate your balanced approach in terms of suggesting we have to find a way to live with this technology fostering self-discipline in ourselves and our children.Starting this series during Lent is surely no coincidence. May God bless you abundantly in your apostolate. 🙏
Angelus press,this discussion is timely,and especially during this period of Lent. Where homes, marriages and friendships and relationships are breaking apart,due to dependence and attachments to machines,and technology. Thank u!👏
This is very timely and necessary. Smartphones are incredibly useful - I use mine for arranging social events, planning meetings at work, finding my way when travelling, taking photographs, listening to the Bible and to SSPX podcasts, and listening to music. However, I am addicted to it - using it is the first thing I do when I wake up and get home - and am plagued by many of the problems you identify in this podcast. I can do all the things I listed above in other ways and am strongly considering getting rid of it altogether. What I needed was to hear the problem laid out clearly, which this video has done very well. Thanks.
I'm looking forward to this series. If you can, please cover advice for Catholic digital creators - UA-camrs or Catholics who want to produce digital creative content (not Catholic podcasts but content on other topics). People who are or desire to be self-employed and create digital content. Are such things not to be pursued at all or is there a correct way to do it and participate in "sanctifying" the culture (not sure if that's the right word for it).
I really appreciate your approach to this very real and very important part of our lives. Your series may well be a landmark on the best uses of the technology that 'we didn't see coming', as you said, Father. Thank you!
FANTASTIC! This is the series we’ve been waiting for! God bless you, Father for all the hard work and dedication, as well as amazing presentation of your findings!
Even watching this great video on UA-cam we get interrupted by immortal commercials that are out of our control and we have to skip them as quick as possible.
Pay for Premium and you don’t get any but imbedded commercials. (Meaning, someone posts a TV show taped on their VCR, commercials included.) Also, keep your kids off the screens. Provide other amusements and activities. Teach them how to use the internet, when, for how long, where, and how to block unwanted material.
My sound unbelievable but 3 years ago i asked God through Christ to have the Holy Spirit enter my phone and bring me only Godly things. God is sovereign over EVERYTHING, and our devices too if you ask Him with trust God will help you,,..💙🙏🏾💙🙏🏻💙
It is shocking to me (born in 1971) how horrible parents of my age have been.We grew up in a totally different time and we raised our children without morals or discipline.That is a big part of the issue here.Parents totally ignoring their duties and responsibilities.
Someone did see this coming, although he lived before the smart phone. That was the devout Roman Catholic Marshall McLuhan, whose understanding of how media effoect our brains goes beyond what we tend to say in conversations like this one--ironic, ain't it--that it's on an electronic device?--in describing how profound the changes the tools we make change our being.
I hope you will address the issue of these systems being designed to tempt us and how to fight that whether that would be not using the specific apps or what other options there are.
I had a friend ask for a series in gluttony and exercise and taking care of the body. He's never heard one. I thought i had but haven't seen anything recorded online to share with him. Can you help?
There is no motivation because children and adults are chronically told that they are a burden, “lazy,” and can never do enough. Our society overwhelmingly favors older adults and the elderly at the expense of developing youth. If you are told directly and indirectly that they are a burden or not worth investing in as people. Its not surprising people develop unhealthy attachments to the Internet.

Excellent foundation laid down for this discussion. Thank you Father Kopec

Thank you for addressing this most important topic. I look forward to hearing more. God keep you.
How is the SSPX always the tip of the spear.
Scholasticism: They ask “to what end?”

Thank you for this!! It is so needed!!!
Thank you 3x for the series 🙏
Very interesting presentation. God Blessed your work.

There was a huge vacuum and guess what filled it?
Good topic. Thank you.

Internet addiction and social media just finish the damage done by narcissistic parenting and neglect
And of the two, the toxic parenting is far, far more dangerous.
What happened to Andrew? Did they fire him??😬😬😮😮

Normal use is overuse 😢 ouch
I wonder if this is why many Catholics are still single and struggling to find each other, 25-45.
Another attack on Marriage and the family.
"Normal use is overuse." Yikes!
That's a bit extreme
