The Pope uses an Ipad to tweet
OCTOGENARIAN CYBER FREAK Pope Benedict XVI has embraced Twitter and kicked off the papal party with the words, "I just launched."
The Pope, who was launching a new Vatican web site, performed this act on an Ipad by extending a holy finger and pressing a screen while an assortment of eager hands waited around in case he wanted them to do it for him.
When Pope Benedict XVI pressed that Ipad screen though, he was putting the Vatican deeper onto the internet.
"Dear Friends, I just launched," his holiness said, "Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI".
What he launched was the Vatican's news web site, which was where we learned that Vatican City has at least one Ipad. µ

Once he was shown how the church leaders could easily reach out and touch pictures of children with the finger manipulated touch screen, he realized that technology might help solve the problem of Priests touching real children. This cost of the Ipads for the priests would surely be cheaper than fighting and settling lawsuits as they are portable enough to be carried everywhere temptation exists and the screens are easy to clean.
Yep, I agree with you to a large degree. I am no fan of the Catholic church especially. If organised religion actually practiced what it actually says in the Bible then we all would be living in paradise right now. The pope is a figure head of an oppressive oraganisation that has done untold harm not only to my fellow man but also to God as well.
Religion in itself has proven to be intolerant in almost every circumstance. I find it hard to agree that the world wouldn't be a better place without (organised) religion. Let the poeple believe what they want, not what some twat in a robe tells them to.
If "Christianity didn't hold back science for at least a few thousand years with their babble" as you so put it, then scientists would have destroyed the planet centuries ago. You would have never been born to make your rather crass comment. Religion is a product of evolution, just accept and embrace it or, perhaps, you may find yourself arguing against evolution. If people believe in St. Jobs or that the Earth was created by a one horned flying purple people eater, that is up to them and no one else.
God, I hate religious intolerance.
"IPAD IS NOT A MOBILE" - SUCKERBURG.
POPE SHOULD HAVE TWEETED FROM HIS IPHONE, BECAUSE AT LEAST THAT IS A MOBILE ! !
SIR EDMOND HALLEY SAID THE EARTH IS HOLLOW AND IN HIS FINAL PORTRAIT AGE 80 HAD HIMSELF DRAWN WITH HIS CRACKPOT IDEA.

SO THE POPE ISNT THE ONLY FOOLISH OCTOGENERIEN WHO WONT LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO REGRET IT! !
BLACK SWAN WILL PLAY ON IPAD TOO NOT JUST THE ARCHOS 101 G9. I BET THE POPE ALREDDY KNOWS IT.
A little known fact about Pope Benedict is how intelligent he is. When he was a cardinal he came up with the idea that all catholic churches should send all of their documents regarding clergy sexual misconduct to the Vatican. The Vatican is a sovereign country and therefore can not be legally required to release any of these documents or any information about how the catholic church has dealt with clergy sexual misconduct -- even if subpoenaed by U.S. or other countries’ law enforcement authorities. Benedict’s idea has saved the catholic church from a significant amount of prosecution, embarrassment, and likely bankruptcy. And that is why he is now the CEO, or as they call it, pope of the holy roman catholic church.
if it wasn't for Christianity holding back science for at least a few thousand years with their babble... this might have happened sooner.'.
Oh! I forgot, God listens to Steve Jobs before men who wear dresses.
Lots a LOLS"
Inq recently reported:
The Pope has previously spoken out against advances in technology, including the Internet. Last year he said that the Internet can exacerbate tensions, lead to "intellectual and morale relativism", not to mention the "pollution of the spirit", which we imagine ranks higher than environmental pollution in his list of dangers.
Anyone who decries science in favor of superstition ought to be denied the benefits of science-derived technology.
