If this is real, it's honestly very impressive a man spent his entire life in the clergy, genuinely devoting himself to his flock, and still kept up with tech better than his brother, who I think is in finance of some kind?
Who knows? Maybe the Pope is a geek, and in his free time, he tests then debates about the best Linux distro out there! Or he's hiding thanks to his peuso that he's an active contributor to some prominent opensource projects!
Have YOU ever seen the Pope and Daniel Stenberg together in one room at the same time? I haven't.
It reminds me that over on Reddit there was a younger priest, I think he must be around 30 right now, that was a well known Linux user.
As someone who was raised Catholic, but hasn't gone to church in a minute, I think Jesus would approve of at least that one aspect of that priest's life. I don't know about any other.
A priest and the internet... i wonder what kind of material is in his computer...
