" Celebrate Mass with I-Pad ',' Debuts I-Pad to give mass "or" Da mass from an I-Pad "were some of the headlines that populated the pages of Mexican newspapers, referring to a fact 'new' means the use of a digital device during a time of worship .
happened on "Ash Wednesday" in 2011. The archbishop primate of Mexico, Cardinal Norberto Rivera Carrera, used an I-Pad to guide you through some moments of the mass.
Currently there are several programs that allow you to enter on that device commercially launched in 2010 as a lightweight tablet multifunctional files as the Liturgy of the Hours the Lectionary or very Roman Missal (which is the basic text to say mass.)
Comments on the fact they have gone in several directions: from who criticizes it is used, light passing comments and jokes as usual, until he applauds the updating of the Church with the using these tools. Is there a criterion given by the Church in this area?
The first thing to consider is that popularity is no guarantee of truth: that more or less support or oppose only indicates a bifurcation of opinion.
So far there is no standard or explicit guidance Congregation for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments regard. However, it is significant that a cardinal and make public use of a device such as the aforementioned evidence for the compatibility between new technologies and liturgy, between art and faith.
Yes it should be clear that both the book printed as these new devices are tools and as such are ethically neutral. The valuation depends on the use made of them and the real need that may arise from its use in different places and times. A digital device does not replace faith, but can help feed, nourish and strengthen it. In this case, as can be guessed, His Eminence thought it appropriate to use and the personal character attacks reflected in some comments show that the I-Pad was utilized only once for arreneter against him.
