I think, that when it comes to discussing technology, the Bishops need periti, under the age of, say, 15, to advise them, so they don't show their utter stupidity again!
From Gloria.tv
The semi-official Vatican blog IlSismografo (November 5) has called the Youth Synod’s proposal that young people manage “certification systems for catholic sites” in order to counter the spread anti-Church fake news, “really stupid”.
In our days – IlSismografo points out – this would be “the best way to sow distrust, suspicion and disaffection with regard to the churches [sic!] and the faith”.
The blog asks which criteria the youthful experts should apply in order to figure out whether a site is “catholic” or “not catholic”.
It suggests that the Vatican and the national episcopates, can overcome fake news only with one effective tool: by producing a good, timely, courageous, and truthful journalism. [But so far they have only proven to be able to produce boring or liberal propaganda].
IlSismografo concludes, “Everything else is just a way to blame others and never take responsibility.”

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
