Raaaaiiiiilllls I tell you!

Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency
from the lots-to-be-opaque-about dept.
http://tech.slashdot.org/story/10/04/26/2254205/Pope-Rails-Against-the-Internet-and-Transparency?art_pos=110

"At a conference on digital media at the Vatican, Pope Benedict XVI attacked the idea of transparency in the Internet age (http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/2010/04/margaret-warner-pope-describes-dangers-of-new-digital-age.html), 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."

:argh!:

It also leads to an increased risk of people finding out you covered up for kiddie diddlers.

"Humiliation," he says?  What ever happened to humility?
