The Associated Press: iPad coming to church altars with daily missal app
ROME — An Italian priest has developed an iPad application that will let priests celebrate Mass with an iPad on the altar instead of the regular Roman missal.
The Rev. Paolo Padrini, a consultant with the Vatican's Pontifical Council for Social Communications, said Friday that the free application will be launched in July in English, French, Spanish, Italian and Latin.
Two years ago, Padrini developed the iBreviary, an application that brought the book of daily prayers used by priests onto iPhones. He said the iPad application is similar but also contains the complete missal — containing all that is said and sung during Mass throughout the liturgical year.
Pope Benedict XVI has sought to reach out to young people through new media.

I think this is terrible.

That's as bad of an idea as electric candles, electronic bells, and Oregon Catholic Press.
