Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency

tcd004 writes "At a conference on digital media at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI attacked the idea of transparency in the Internet age, warning that digital transparency exacerbates tensions between nations and within nations themselves and increases the 'dangers of ... intellectual and moral relativism,' which can lead to 'multiple forms of degradation and humiliation' of the essence of a person, and to the 'pollution of the spirit.' All in all, it seemed a pretty grim view of the wide-open communication environment being demanded by the Internet age."

I do not care who the pope is, but as an enemy of the Catholic church I would very much like to see any sitting pope removed from the papacy -- such a blow will shake the institution to its core and will wake many up to the lunacy that they are signing up for by declaring themselves Catholics.
