Pope Promotes Christian Netiquette

angry tapir writes "Pope Benedict XVI Monday gave his blessing to social networking, urging Catholic Internet users to adopt a respectful Christian netiquette when spreading the Gospel online. The pope said new technologies were creating unprecedented opportunities for establishing relationships and building fellowship but warned against creating false online profiles out of vanity or diluting the Christian message to achieve popularity."

The pope should just shut the fuck up.

I can't think of anyone on the planet from whom I could care less about their opinion or thoughts on *anything*. It'd be fantastic if we stopped treating him like some elected politician. And, if he were, I certainly wouldn't give to shits of credit to someone who can't even oblige the REAL WORLD etiquette of not covering up the rape of children.

And yeah, you can mark me a troll for all I fucking care.

So I'm confused... Are you saying he's a hypocrite for claiming we should not let virtual contact replace physical then proceeds to partake in virtual communication with God? Or, that he's just saying it's important to not live in your mom's basement playing WoW all day, everyday? Or, that he's encouraging physical contact to take place rather than just cybersex?
