PERHAPS THOSE WHO ORGANIZE PAPAL MASSES COULD LEARN SOMETHING FROM THE MASTERS!


I copy this from a Facebook site:

At Augusta National, tradition reigns supreme—and that means leaving your phone behind. The Masters enforces a strict no-cellphone policy, creating a rare escape from the digital world for attendees. This rule encourages face-to-face interactions and full immersion in the event.   

Instead of selfies and live tweets, patrons experience the tournament through their own eyes, engaging more deeply with the game and fellow fans. As Swedish golfer Ludvig Åberg notes, the absence of mobile devices leads to more eye contact and attentiveness from fans, which he finds particularly rewarding.  

For those needing to make a call, Augusta National provides banks of public telephones—a nostalgic nod to simpler times. These phones allow patrons to connect with the outside world, often surprising recipients with a call from “Augusta National Golf Club.”  

In an era dominated by screens, The Masters offers a refreshing return to presence and tradition. It’s not just about watching golf; it’s about experiencing it fully, without digital distractions.

pffft....you cannot even ban cell phones from a parish mass, the howling could be heard at Proxima Centauri. Everybody knows that at no time, in all of history, were people without cell phones, or we'd all be extinct....well, maybe not prisons, gulags, and concentration camps.

When I am paid the $4.2 million that McIlroy got at the end of the day, I will ban phones.

You don’t have authority to ban phones at papal Masses no matter how much you are paid.

He would need that much money just to go into hiding after banning cell phones at his parish, not much considering the plastic surgery, new ID, and security measures he'd need take...ban them from papal functions and he'd need volunteer for a Space X test flight to Mars, and even then....
