Pope to Bloggers: Give the Internet a Soul
Tweet ThisVia Vatican Radio, a special request from the Holy Father:
The need to give the Internet a soul and humanize the dynamics of the digital world was at the heart of Pope Benedict XVI's message Saturday to participants in a conference on modern means of mass communication...."Without fear we must set sail on the digital sea facing into the deep with the same passion that has governed the ship of the Church for two thousand years. Rather than for, albeit necessary, technical resources, we want to qualify ourselves by living in the digital world with a believer's heart, helping to give a soul to the Internet’s incessant flow of communication." (Vatican Radio)
Awesome. Reminds me of a great homily I heard one 10 PM Mass (now 9 PM) at SLU College Church, what seems like ages ago, about making the neutral Holy.
