Pope John Paul, speaking in his weekly address in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, focused on the Internet, giving his blessing to the net after previously having warned that it was a cesspool of moral decay. “We shouldn’t be afraid to put to sea in the vast ocean of information,” the pontiff said. “This new medium makes it possible for us to reach many more people with the word of God. I myself have been in communication via email with the widow of the former finance minister of Nigeria, and understand that the Church will soon be receiving a generous donation in return for its help in transferring a large sum of money out of the country.”
