Vatican: The Internet is Blessed

According to Fr. Frederico Lombardi, SJ, Il Papa's head PR flack:

While some in the Church and other denominations will happily condemn the net - along with radio, TV, printing etc. - as instruments of the Devil, Lombardi concluded his speech by recalling Pope John Paul II's joy at being able to connect with Catholic Youth celebrations by TV, and declaring that "television is blessed".

Now, Lombardi said, "I shall have to work more – all of us shall have to work even harder, so that every day it will be more and more true, to say, and so that we might be able to say with greater and greater conviction: the internet is truly blessed!"

And hey, why not? Although as the Church finds Youtube, they'll find stuff like this (Safe for Work, but turn down your speakers unless folks have a -ahem- broad sense of humor).



And hey, why not? ... whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.

Or maybe something from the Song of Solomon ...
