Much Like Religion in General, Pope's Website Remains a Mystery

Apparently, the "Pope2You View" Plug-In Has some Bugs

I'm not religious, but I'm not anti-religious or anything, so I decided to give the Pope's website (Pope2you.net) a look after Il Papa called for a new Christian Army of bloggers on Saturday:
“Who better than a priest, as a man of God,” the Pope said, “can develop and put into practice, by his competence in current digital technology, a pastoral outreach capable of making God concretely present in today’s world and presenting the religious wisdom of the past as a treasure which can inspire our efforts to live in the present with dignity while building a better future?
Unfortunately, the Pope's website has about as much substance and content as a Martha Coakley Facebook page. Maybe my browser is all dicked up, but nothing is working right on this website. That is including the "Piece of Peace" page, which has some graphic of the world that looks like it's from Atari's Pitfall that rotates around spastically when you roll over it with your mouse.

The Catholic Church would be attracting a lot more visitors by posting mash-up videos of the Pope getting tackled or the Pope-mobile riding around set to the Ministry song "Jesus Built my Hotrod".

I didn't click on all the different options, but I was able to get several to work including the "Vatican Live" feature- very boring at night ;)

Firefox (recently updated) and Safari.

It doesn't work for you because your faith is weak.

BeneDICK is identifying Web users to be left behind after the Rapture. Sorry 'bout yer luck, buddy.

Far as publicity goes, you've got your finger on the pulse. LT., I can see you as an adviser to The Vatican. You'd bring a fresh contingent aboard, which it what Ratz needs, really.

Already gave up trying to get to heaven, but at the moment, I'm hoping for a place in Purgatory. Can't go wrong with that!

Better choice, LT. Many more options there, and never a dull moment.

Its pathetic that some of the most important people/organizations end up having horrible websites that do nothing for their credibility.

My reading is that it is a well researched, well argued, and well written book. I would guess that it’s fairly unpleasant reading for a committed Catholic, especially one who believes the Pope can do no wrong. I don’t dislike the church, I think you’re all horrible misguided, but I don’t dislike you
