The boss of the Catholic church Pope Benedict XVI believes that video games are bad for you. Instead of playing games he suggests that kids should be encouraged to enjoy classic literature, fine arts and “uplifting music .

 The Church has taken a swipe at violent or sexually explicit video games and animated movies, naming them a “pervasive influence” on children. The Pope made the statements in a message to mark the church’s World Communications Day.

“Any trend to produce programs and products – including animated movies and video games – which in the name of entertainment exalt violence and portray anti-social behaviour or the trivilization of human sexuality is a perversion, all the more repulsive  when these programs are directed at children and adolescents,” he said.

“I appeal to the leaders of the media industry to educated and encourage producers to safeguard the common good, to uphold the truth, to protect individual human dignity and promote respect for the needs of the family.”
