A pretty good, well-thought-out, response to the "iRomanMissal." Don't let the name Curt Jester fool you: This is a Catholic who can be serious when the subject demands it.

The AP article says Father Paolo Padrini is a consultant with the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Social Communications.

Looks like a good idea to me.

I may be missing something significant: something in the symbolism, for example, of having an electronic device passing along data from the Vatican, instead of a paper-and-ink book doing the same thing. But since app is apparently going ahead with cooperation from the Holy See - I don't see a problem.

The AP says the app will be launched in July.
