The Pope called modern forms of communication "a gift of God"
Pope Francis had a meeting Friday with Apple CEO Tim Cook.
Neither party has disclosed what was discussed, but afterward, the
Pope spoke about technology and social media, calling modern forms of
communicating “a gift of God,” according to Reuters. Pope Francis, 79,
delivered the message for the Roman Catholic Church’s World Day of
Communications.
“Emails, text messages, social networks and chats can also be fully
human forms of communication,” he said. “It is not technology which
determines whether or not communication is authentic, but rather the
human heart and our capacity to use wisely the means at our disposal.”
The Pope is admittedly a “disaster”
when it comes to technology, but this is his second meeting in a week
with a tech industry heavyweight—he sat down with former Google CEO Eric
Schmidt last week. Cook—or “Signor Timothy Donald Cook, Amministratore
Delegato di Apple”—met with the Pope in Rome, according to the Pontiff’s
daily schedule posted to Twitter.
There is no word on whether Pope Francis was able to get the two tech
giants to lay down their arms and comes to terms over competing mobile
phone platforms. Time
