Keep it real says Pope Benedict XVI

Keep it real says Pope Benedict XVI

The Pope has momentarily downed the Bible to spruik responsible Internet communication and how important it is not to replace direct human contact with virtual contact.
 

The head of the Catholic Church, who is now 83 years of age, declared the challenges that we now face within a virtual world are to be authentic and faithful in the search for friends and not to construct false and artificial profiles online.
 

No doubt Pope Benedict XVI is deeply concerned about youngsters entering cyberspace and considers this to be a very crucial time in history where many people are spending the majority of their time on the Internet.
 

Although the Pontiff appears to have accepted the online world of the Internet and social networks as an integral a part of modern life, he emphasises how important it is to limit this time and retain strong communities by spreading the word of the Gospel.
