It will be interesting to see how the younger fans of the Pope react to this:
Pope Francis wants youngsters to BRB from their cellphones at the dinner table, warning that the lack of face-to-face communication with adults could result in “war.”
“When we’re at the table, when we are speaking to others on our telephones, it’s the start of war because there is no dialogue,” the 80-year-old pontiff told students last week at Roma Tre in Rome.
The pope also chided today’s youths for their lack of manners, saying that instead of a friendly “good morning,” they opt for an “anonymous ‘ciao, ciao.’”
“We need to lower the tone a bit, speak less and listen more,” he said.

Pope Francis is 100% right on this
Finally, something with which I can agree.
When our sons were home, we said Grace and the Hail Mary at each sit-down meal.
“The family that prays together stays together.” The Christophers (?)
“It is better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.”
“We need to lower the tone a bit, speak less and listen more,” Pope Francis said.
