Pope Francis Asks Catholics Not to Use Cell Phones During Mass

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/09/europe/pope-cell-phones-trnd/index.html


"In addition to calling out cell phone usage during Wednesday's Mass, the Pope voiced his displeasure at other lax behaviors of some Catholics in the pews.

"A seemingly vexed Frances, again veering from his prepared remarks, took Catholics to task for chatting during Mass and for complaining that Mass was boring.

"'The Lord is there!' said the Pope. 'Is the Lord boring?'"


Really? If you have to ask the question do you really want to know the answer?

(And haven't Catholics learned by now to use the say excuse Mormons do during *their* services when bored spitless: "Um, yeah, I was just using my phone to look up that scripture/reference they just quoted.")

Jesus ... with the catholic churches rated x history down through

the ages you'd think they wouldn't have the nerve to criticize

what any one does inside their church ... what hypocrites.

...and Catholics tweeted back:

"No can do! I'm following the World Cup!"

Well, yeah, sometimes. You can't expect the guy to be on all of the time. That's just not fair.
