?I am wondering if, despite these pieces of evidence, Benedict?s recent entry into Twitter has had anything to do with the seeming abruptness of his announcement. Before you scoff, consider: the pope?s interest in, and support of, the church?s engagement with new media proves he is not exactly out of touch with the world, but when the Benedict finally logged on to Twitter he got to see firsthand the sort of raw, unhinged anti-Catholic hatred so active within social media threads. We who work in new media experience this hatred so regularly it barely registers with us, but for Benedict, or those around him, it must have been a shocking revelation to encounter the vilest expressions of hatred, the intentional voicings of malice and evil hopes, flung squarely at the Holy Father, in real time. Prayer and Penance: Did Twitter Hasten Benedict?s Retirement? ?
