Archbishop issues networking websites warning

Sunday August 02 2009

There has been a warning to teenagers about the dangers of using social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace.

The head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales said they encourage 'transient relationships' which can traumatise youngsters when they end.

Archbishop Vincent Nicholls also claims the sites put too much emphasis on the quantity of friends rather than the quality.
