Pope Benedict presses "Send"



Here is the video of the Holy Father with an iPad, launching the news.va site and sending a tweet. I hope he includes me in his "#FollowFriday" :-)

UPDATE: There are various other papal tweets at The Curt Jester. Here is an example.


Jeff also suggests that an infallible definition in 140 characters is "doable".

Thought it was funny that when the Holy Father kept touching the screen all the bishop could achieve was to magnify not scroll the text!

Yes, I think it would have been wiser to have let the Holy Father play with it for half an hour after supper one evening first :-)

@ Father Finigan

I disagree Father Tim, we witnessed the very first move in the process of exorcising Satan from cyber space.

Yesterday on the Feast of St Peter and St Paul, the embryonic Catholic Guild of Bloggers backed up Pope Benedict XI's opening gambit with this excellent post : Pope Benedict XVI celebrates 60 years of priesthood - Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Heiliger Vater! http://areluctantsinner.blogspot.com/2011/06/pope-benedict-xvi-celebrates-60-years.html

At the General Election former Met Police Inspector Michael Barnbrook, the malevolent neo-Nazi BNP Police Spokesman, stood as a candidate for MP in the Dagenham and Rainham Parliamentary constituency. Nick Griffin MEP, the BNP's leader stood as a candidate for MP in the neighbouring Parliamentary constituency of Barking. The BNP also put up candidates in all three London Borough of Bexley constituencies : Stephen James in Bexleyheath and Crayford : Kevin Saunders in Erith & Thamesmead : John Brooks in Old Bexley and Sidcup. The BNP Parliamentary AGENT FROM HELL, for Bexley's Parliamentary constituencies +, was Mr Michael Barnbrook, 24 Holbeach Gardens, Sidcup, Kent DA15 8QW, which is on the doorstep of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School in Blackfen +

I would be failing in my professional 'duty of care' if I failed to identify, and actively oppose the evil on the doorstep of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic Primary School in Blackfen +, and in Greater London too.

I would therefore also like to dedicate my own anti-Nazi, You-Tube video performance at Barking & Dagenham Town Hall to BLACKFEN'S MINOR BASILICA PROJECT & BEXLEY COUNCIL'S CULTURAL OLYMPIAD POETRY WORKSHOP:THEME SPORT : You Tube - Roy Hobson's anti-Nazi performance in Barking & Dagenham 2007 (From Dark to Light Too) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pS9cKgj4UB4

Our Lady of the Rosary ( http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2011/05/visit-to-tomb-of-blessed-john-paul-ii.html ) pray for us!

PAPA VERO ORA PRO NOBIS!
