The 81-year-old Pope Francis admitted on Saturday that he struggles with modern technology.
I dont know how to use online networks and that kind of thing, not even mobile phones; I dont have one, he told his audience.
I dont know how to use the internet. When I have to send an email, I write it by hand and a secretary sends it for me, he added.
Pope Francis also joked on Saturday that he is on the waiting list for sainthood, along with his retired predecessor Benedict XVI.

He has about 3 levels of plausible deniability right there.
I never said he wasn’t shrewd as a serpent.

Desperate to find something good to say about the Holy Father, I will say that his being technologically challenged is rather endearing. I only wish he were a bit more retro when it comes to doctrine and liturgy!
To: Secret Agent Man
Ha. I was thinking the same thing. I’m not buying this Sgt Schultz ‘I know nothing’ act.

...and Christianity.
To: Olog-hai
That’s probably good for the rest of us.....

Hasn’t stopped him from attaching Western Civilization while doing his worst to destroy The Roman Catholic Church.

Well, God did not inspire the milder “not OK”, but “abomination” (from Hebrew “to’evah”).

He should learn to use his Bible first.
To: Olog-hai
I don’t think he had even been to the United States until his 70s.
He’s a bit out of touch with a lot of things.
Did he take a vow to give up these things?
Is he Amish?

Amazing that the pope can’t use a simple computer or mobile phone.
Well one thing we know he’s an expert in — taking orders from George Soros and the rest of Euro Global Elite. Sadly, he anoints and kisses their feet.
