| The pope: Stop swearing, get off your gadgets and talk to each other |
| 2015-01-25 |
| [c/net] As pontiffs go, Pope Francis isn't much of a pontificator. Instead, he's shown himself to be a mostly kind, thoughtful and straightforward human being. He chose Christmas, for example, to excoriate the hypocrisy of his own church's cardinals, as they bathe in a "pathology of power." That gold jewelry just doesn't send the right message. Today, for World Communications Day, the pope offered the thought that perhaps our gadgets are making us less, well, human. Spot on!

| #4 ...and we've giving up going after - luxuria (lechery/lust) gula (gluttony) avaritia (avarice/greed) acedia (sloth/discouragement) ira (wrath)* invidia (envy) superbia (pride) ..cause it was too hard or just unpleasant holding people accountable for their own self destructive behaviors? * yeah, that may cover the swearing but I think the drafters the principles had concepts of something bigger. |
