re: #535 reine.de.tout

I don’t disagree with you. My concern is this: When the Pope speaks, even when he simply voices his own opinion, he is viewed as speaking for all Catholics. Ill-conceived statements reflect poorly on the Church as a whole. I hope this is the last time we have to have such a letter from him. I think he is a good man, trying to do right. But he does need to choose the best possible advisors, and ones who are savvy as regards up-to-date technology.

He does indeed, and I think he’ll now get them.
Mind - he is of a generation not exactly internet-savvy, nor can I see his cardinals being especially tech-geeky!

One thing we can bank on - ‘Twitter’ the Pope will not!
