Catholic Bishops Support Net Neutrality

An anonymous reader writes "This week, in their annual 'State of the Union' address, the President of the US Catholic Bishops Conference spoke on a number of issues, in particular a surprisingly strong statement in favor on Net Neutrality. 'As the Internet continues to grow in its influence and prominence in Americans' lives, we support legislation and federal regulations that ensure equal access to the Internet for all, including religious and non-profit agencies, as well as those in more sparsely populated or economically distressed areas. True net neutrality is necessary for people to flourish in a democratic society,' said Archbishop Timothy Dolan. It's always interesting to see the Catholic Church joining in a crusade that means so much to so many Slashdotters!"

The Internet is where Religion comes to die.

The Internet is where Religion comes to die. Because its too easy for actual facts about the religion and actual history of Religion to be disseminated in a uncensored form. Where all the revisionist history can be exposed. I know tons more about Christianity than the average church goer thanks to the Youtube Atheist movement.

The idea is just fine. It's actually the only thing that makes sense, because otherwise there would be nothing but paid spam and DRM'ed cable TV on the Internet.

Politicians who are trying to play on crap about "government regulation" are welcome to build their Libertarian paradise in Somalia.
