Annuntio Vobis Breaking News! – Diepresse.com
Smoke sign from Rome. The fascinating of the completely out of date has once again been confirmed worldwide.
Annuntio Vobis Gaudium Magnum: Habemus Papam Leo XIV., End of the Sedisvakanz! Extra Omnes was yesterday (the Vatican Cardinal Dean wrongly said « Extra Omines »), there is the 267th Pope of church history. Intra Omnes! For unbelievers, this may be a subordinate « message », the fascination of the pope choice has been confirmed again worldwide.
And what fascinates all world media and their consumers is obviously the complete out of date. In the age of digital communication and the hybris of the so -called social media: smoke signs through a fireplace on St. Peter’s Square as a « result » of a heated ballot! For hours, 100,000 curious people are waiting for the « info » and connected to the media at home, no, billions! The online editions of the newspapers keep their users (consumers, subscribers) with the latest reports and pictures from Rome around the clock up to date (although the images are always the same, so to speak, and at the beginning of a complaining there cannot be « latest reports » at all). The correspondents and special correspondents know of course: Modern Mystery! From 4 p.m., television shows a two-hour « ZiB Special » (« Time in the Bild Special ») with live images from the moving of the cardinals into the Sistine chapel, garnished with background reports and circuits according to Rome (where you don’t know any more because of the strict confidentiality).

Breaking News: The Vatican goes off the net! During the pope election, he switches off mobile phone and telecommunications systems: « Paranormal Activity! Government Denies Knowledge! » All areas of the conclusion are affected by the shutdown, including the Santa Marta guest house, where the cardinals are isolated. Tikkok only make the wall clocks there! For a while you are real there again, so to speak: live! Here I am human! I have to be here! Cardinals that are online threatens excommunication. Gaudeamus igitur! Isolation is divine – God is offline.
A new against each other
God knows that the digital world has led to the collapse of the communication culture. It is no longer greeted, no longer thanked, it is usually no longer answered at all. God knows: For several years, all technological developments have resulted in reducing human contacts. There is a new against each other. You stay at home. You stay in your bladder. You become Chinese. You get virtual. You are robbed online. WARNING: Telefone are no longer there to make calls! Calls are traps! Do not withdraw! The outside world is contaminated! Everyone distrusts everyone, everyone is against everyone. A completely destroyed we. Lost in the Cosmos! Technical progress is a step back into a highly bred virtual barbarism. God disgusted it.
But the online editorial offices of all world media report around the clock, whether from a chimney of black or white smoke. White smoke triggers the conditional reflex to google immediately: name, papal name, nationality, age, orientation. It acts like an admission of your own sin: the « penance », of course, consists in consistent continues on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok. « Everything is waiting, » diagnosed Samuel Beckett. Timelessness in the picture.
