So what? This is one of the least problematic things I've heard about a church. Maybe internet porn will save a bunch of altar and choir boys.
Maybe they watched them together.
These are the sins Jesus died for, lord forgive me, I'm gonna crank my hog again 🙏
"Forgive me father, for I have sinned. I've masturbated 9 1/2 times since my last confession."
"And a half?"
"Well, it's 10 times, now."
They're just seeking insight on why the second coming takes so long to achieve.
Jesus: "Oh I'm coming, alright?!"
Amateurs
Man I'd love to know how to break into the pro circuit of watching porn at work
If you know how to edit video, I can think of one way to do it.
Amateur porn is indeed the best.
Yes but which ones? There are so many! Like I need names.
I am not surprised, when I worked for a hardware company (late 90's), the repair techs would fight over laptops that came in from churches because they always had the best porn.
Uh...
This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to German media reports emerging early on Friday morning, staff members and clergy in the Archdiocese of Cologne made "mass attempts to access porn websites" on church-supplied computers.
The Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger newspaper, which broke the story, reported that the diocese leadership was informed as early as July 2022 about corresponding activities by 15 employees.
Such activities, even if they are not punishable under either state or church law, are not permitted as part of the labor agreement with the archdiocese, which is located in western Germany.
Within that one-month period, there were around "1,000 access attempts to pages that were blocked by a protective filter because of questionable, undesirable content and potential threats to IT security," the paper reported.
In June this year, the list came to light again after police raided an employee of the archdiocese who was suspected of having child abuse material.
According to the report, although there were no indications that the material viewed on church computers was illegal, archdiocese officials turned over the information to Cologne investigators.
The original article contains 327 words, the summary contains 166 words. Saved 49%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Why would you watch it on something your employer can see? At least be safe and do it on your phone.
They already think their boss's boss who is also his own father plus a ghost can see so why not?
I can't speak for the church staff, but personally it's just much more convenient to do it on my work laptop.
Also, my employer isn't allowed to monitor me without good reason. So yea, I don't even disable the VPN to my office for it.
I don't get viewing porn at work..it's like goint to a restaurant to watch other people eat? Wait till you get home, idiot.
It's the thrill of wondering whether today's the day you'll forget to mute the church PA system hooked up to your computer before the actors/actresses start praising the Lord and speaking in tongues.
Hopefully that'll teach them to mind their own business instead of surveiling people's activity.
Why not? As long as it's not too much, let them. I don't see the problem, as long as it's tasteful catholic porn and not that protestant-lutheranian trash.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
