The head the Roman Catholic Church Pope Francis has issued a stern warning fathers who work long hours. He criticised workaholic dads being 'symbolically absent' their families, and effectively making their children 'orphans'. The Pope was speaking a congregation at the Vatican Wednesday when he made his plea fathers to spend more time their children and get more involved in family life. He told worshippers that the absence fathers in the family is one of the reasons that children experience problems growing . He said fathers who focused too much their jobs was one of the causes of "deviances children and adolescents".

Pope Francis said this problem fathers being obsessed their jobs and not spending quality time with their family was particularly prevalent Europe and North America. He said: "Fathers are so focused themselves, their work, and times their personal fulfillment, that they even forget their families, leaving children and the young their own devices." He added: "The feeling orphanhood experienced many young people is more profound than we might think. They are orphans their families because their fathers are often absent the home, but also, and above all, because when they are present, they do not act like fathers." He warned that fatherless families are being accepted as the norm.
