Vatican Institutes Sweeping New Security Measures In Response To Scandal - Business Insider
Points:
- “Much tighter controls have already been introduced for anyone seeking access or photocopies of the Holy See's archives, dossiers and documents.”
- “…identity cards expected to be introduced from January 1.”
- “Thousands of clerical and lay staff working inside the walls of the Vatican from the Apostolic Palace to the Secretariat of State will be affected by the tighter scrutiny that will also enable their superiors to monitor when they clock in and out.”
Ponder: Continuing expansion of surveillance technologies. The ultimate moral question will become: Who needs God when you have sensors?
