Pope Benedict may have a twitter account, and he is expected to begin tweeting on December 12th. But there will be no infallible tweets:
Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli,
president of the Pontifical Council for Social Communications told the press
conference the pope’s tweets would not be “dogmatic positions” nor infallabile
statements on Catholic doctrine and dogma. The pope’s followers would receive
“pearls of wisdom” from the 85 year old pontiff.
“Pearls of wisdom” are nice and
all, but, c’mon, can’t we have some infallibility to liven twitter up? Or how about some
excommunications? Are excommunications
via twitter too much to ask for?
