Look, The Pope means well, but the Catholic church is in crisis. Like all religions, they have lost their way down through the ages. Technology can be detrimental to the world and a person's health. But it also can be a blessing. We have cured many deceases with modern science and the pope and most religions are all for that, but if anything challenges the church's authority, watch out. The pope's main problem is Europe. After hundreds of years of death and destruction despite Christianity, Europeans have turned their back on Religion. They look now for things to make sense before they accept advice. The pope is just a man who made his way up through the ranks. they say he was openminded when young but that is no longer the case. It's the same thing all over. He's against birth control in a world suffering from starvation and over population. Priests are still not allowed to marry which is foolish. They are just men and the policy has fiiled the ranks with gays looking for a place to hide unnoticed in straight society, which is ironic because of the churches stand against gays. The church, for the most part, failed Europe during its horrible wars. And to top it off, the church failed God's creation, remaining silent while the world, mostly Christian nations, raped our planet. yes, I think the pope should forget about cell phones; he has many other things to think on deeply.
