Mobile porn on Telus phones upsets archbishop

"Canada's second largest phone company now offers pornographic photos and videos to its customers and confirms it has been receiving complaints from upset customers.

Archbishop Raymond Roussin is upset, saying the move takes the "accessibility of pornographic material further into the public realm.

"Given the increasing awareness about the problem of sexual addiction to pornography through Internet access, and the abuse that this perpetuates of vulnerable persons, Telus's decision is disappointing and disturbing."
