God Bless Pope Benedict XVI!

The pope might look a little old, but the new media are his thing!

Well said, thou good and faithful servant. You, too, NYer. ;-) Thanks for posting it.

I agree with the Pope on this but, lets be honest, this is the world we’re dealing with here and it’s not going to change. At least for the better. Stay gold.

"Pope Benedict said the media often sought to create reality rather than report it, with agendas dictated by "the dominant interests" of the day. "This is what happens when communication is used for ideological purposes..."

Yep, he gets it....

Pope Benedict said the media often sought to create reality rather than report it, with agendas dictated by "the dominant interests" of the day. "This is what happens when communication is used for ideological purposes or for the aggressive advertising of consumer products. When communication loses its ethical underpinning and eludes society's control, it ends up no longer taking into account the centrality and inviolable dignity of the human person" he said.

Yep, he's nailed it!

Well, I expect he knows how evil the MSM is. Could it be Free Republic that he thought about the good sides of Internet?

[CitizenM]

How proud we can be that our Pope is “with it,” and aware of things outside the Vatican. What a burden he carries considering the evil in the world today with so much on air and accessible through the Internet that is focused on immorality and pointed to challenge the faithful and tear at the morals of society. God Bless Pope Benedict XVI!

[RichardMoore]

The largest problem that we all face today is the distortion of morals and truth by the media and TV is the main culprit. If we turn off-our TV’s and stop giving money to the likes of Ted Turner and his ilk then we may not stop them right away but we will no longer have our own thinking clouded by the non-sense that passes for news. Just the other night I spent one hour researching Obama’s connection to Odinga and his anti-American pro-islamosfacist ranting. And yet there is nothing in the MSM. We are force fed “candidates” by the controlled media. It’s hard to even have a sensible conversation with the average person who has been hypnotized by the flickering screen. Turn it off and disconnect your cable if you want a Christian world. The first Christians were willing to die for the faith, are we even willing to be inconvenienced?

The Pope loves youth - he was very close to some Church youth movements before becoming Pope. He gets it because he has seen the media and the effect it has had on youth and therfore adults in this generation.

He always seems to nail it - at least for me
