Open source is generally better software than closed source, so it should serve churches well. Also, since there's no cost for free software, churches can use their money for other things that are important to churches, such as better cars for church leaders, more/nicer chairs, building and collection plate upgrades, subsidizing sunday school retreats. Oh and some of the money that would have paid for software might actually go back to society too, like helping the poor and curing AIDS. Just don't count on it. I don't.

And then the church could start helping those who are trying to distribute free condoms in Africa to prevent AIDS, instead of working against them with a "religious" campaign that has led to millions of cases of AIDS, including AIDS in children. And then, after those are accomplished, the church could just accept that God is only as real as Santa Claus.

part of my reflection this morning eucharist is a concept to bring the eucharist in the internet so that people who have far from the church like our seamen, our brothers and sisters in the other country where they prohibit any practice of our religion can still experience God through holy mass.

besides this is also responding to this call “option for the poor” as we know that being poor is not only being lack in material things but there are spiritual poor.

do we have already this one (eucharist in the internet)? what do u think?

thanks.

br,
den
