Mobile Phones Threaten the Soul?
You will have to forgive the lack of commentary on this from my end. There are a lof of directions that I can take this, but none of them speak anything more than a slanted opinion that does not help anyone.
From Cellular News via Phone Report 2.0:
The Vatican has warned that mobile phones are bad for your soul. The Pope's spokesman, Father Federico Lombardi warned in a weekly address that modern life is not leaving time for people to cultivate their spiritual dimension. Without a spiritual life "you will lose your soul" he said on the weekly Vatican TV programme, Octavia Dies.
Father Lombardi, who is the director of the Vatican press office added that "today this is a very grave threat, and it is the most irreparable misfortune."
"There is an interior and spiritual dimension of life that must be guarded and nourished. If it is not, it can become barren to the point of drying up and, indeed, dying" the Jesuit priest said.
The only response that I'll say to this is that if the Body doesn't adjust and teach people how to cultivate healthy spiritual lives, then statements like this really will live as truth.

At last years Internet Ministry Conference, Rich Tatum gave a good talk on how things like the Internet influence our day-to-day spiritual lives. I wrote up what I gathered from the talk on my blog under "reflection."
