Despite his lack of access to email, Pope Francis sees modern communication options as useful. When Apple CEO Tim Cook visited the Vatican in January 2016, Pope Francis released a message titled Communication and Mercy: A Fruitful Encounter for the 50th World Day of Social Communications. In it, he said that the Internet, text messaging and social networking are “gifts from God.”
