I find it hilarious that a Catholic order thinks there's anything Catholic (as opposed to catholic) about hacking. The open-source community is de-centralized and libertarian-to-anarchist, while the Catholic Church is built on blind faith in a central authority in deciding what is right for all (even when that "right" is protecting child rapists).
The only thing that could be funnier is if they quoted Eric S. Raymond, author of The Cathedral and the Bazaar, which talked about that aspect of hacker culture, and who is an unapologetic atheist Wiccan.
...oh wait, they did.
- cicero 16y agoThe Catholic Church specifically teaches blind faith is wrong, so maybe you don't understand Catholicism as well as you think you do. Edit - Catechism reference: http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__PX.HTM http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/__PX.HTM
