Vatican moving to HDTV broadcasts

HDTV and Catholicism seems a natural marriage doesn't it? It would be one of those opposites attract kind of thing - old school meets new skool. Jesuit Father Federico Lombardi, the television director in the Vatican, is promising to get the HDTV system up and running by Pope Benedict XVI's 80th birthday Mass. Now keep in mind that HDTV has all that extra-super detail and without offending the big man upstairs, do you really think people are going to want to see all the details HDTV is going to provide on this 80 year old man? Most people are afraid of seeing Regis in HDTV and he has had Joan Rivers amount of work done. All jokes aside, we wish the Vatican all the luck in this HDTV venture.

If they had really thought hard about HDTV, the Good Friday and Easter Sunday services would have been the first things to be aired.
Instead, it's the Pope's 80th birthday.

I think Christ should have taken place ahead of his Vicar. But that's Ratzinger for you, he's more about himself than Christ's message. Ironic, isn't it?

Why is the Pope's 80th birthday the inaugural event for HDTV from the Vatican? Shouldn't it have been the Good Friday and Easter Sunday services? Isn't Christ more important than his Vicar?
