Those who always assumed that the Internet was the sole jurisdiction of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are sadly mistaken. The Pope also has a stake in the World Wide Web, too. Pope Benedict XVI asked his followers not to mistake Internet communication for real communication.
“It is important to always remember that virtual contact cannot and should not be a substitute for direct human contact with people at all levels of our society,” said the Catholic leader in a statement released to followers this week.
The Pope is asking followers to celebrate the message of “Truth, proclamation and authenticity of life in the digital age” on June 5’s 45th World Communications Day.
Pope Benedict preached a similar message back in November, telling a crowd of 100,000, “Much love is proposed by the media and Internet, but this isn’t love but selfishness.”
