Why are you concerned?  Do you think Francis was promoting a non-Christlike message?  

"Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."  "Love one another, as I have loved you.'

Compassion requires us to let go and let God shine through weak matter.  That is why compassion is difficult online.

Howard Rheingold states that "people in virtual communities...do just about everything people do in real life, but we leave our bodies behind."
