Popes Got It Down?

Like myself and others, The Pope has been wondering recently if technology is really worth all the hype. I quote from the man himself:

"Does a 'Saviour' still have any value and meaning for the men and women of the third millennium?" he asked in his "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) message to the faithful in St Peter's Square, broadcast live to millions in 40 countries.

"Is a 'Saviour' still needed by a humanity which has reached the moon and Mars and is prepared to conquer the universe; for a humanity which knows no limits in its pursuit of nature's secrets and which has succeeded even in deciphering the marvelous codes of the human genome?"


I wonder if hes is not answering his own question out loud here. Ray Kurzweil might be able to answer it for him. Of course, maybe Jesus was an alien so (ironically) technology is what got him here in the first place.
