The Pope is channeling Marshall McLuhan
Both losers.
Pope Benedict will text message thousands of young Catholics on
their mobile phones during World Youth Day in Sydney in July, hoping going
digital will help him connect better with a younger
audience.
The Pope will text daily messages of inspiration and hope during the six-day Sydney event while digital prayer walls will be erected at event sites and the church will set up a Catholic social networking Web site akin to a Catholic Facebook…
“We wanted to make WYD08 a unique experience by using new ways to connect with today’s tech-savvy youth,” Bishop Anthony Fisher.
I’m not certain which is siller? The Pope latching onto McLuhan’s assertion that “the medium is the message” - or thousands of young Catholics turning over personal info to their church?
