His plan was to raise men to a participation of the divine life. The eternal Father, by a free and hidden plan of His own wisdom and goodness, created the whole world. The present-day conditions of the world add greater urgency to this work of the Church so that all men, joined more closely today by various social, technical and cultural ties, might also attain fuller unity in Christ.Ģ. This it intends to do following faithfully the teaching of previous councils. Since the Church is in Christ like a sacrament or as a sign and instrument both of a very closely knit union with God and of the unity of the whole human race, it desires now to unfold more fully to the faithful of the Church and to the whole world its own inner nature and universal mission. Because this is so, this Sacred Synod gathered together in the Holy Spirit eagerly desires, by proclaiming the Gospel to every creature,(1) to bring the light of Christ to all men, a light brightly visible on the countenance of the Church. While there was surely some cool stuff to be found in the Vineyard (Opens in a new window), it was mostly a jarring menagerie of too many barely there ideas.[ AR - BE - CS - DE - EN - ES - FR - IT - HU - LA - LV -ġ. I appreciate any technology that A) lowers barriers to entry (Vine made it very easy to create, edit, and publish videos) and B) implements some constraints as a means to bolster creativity (Twitter would be nothing without its 140-character limit). Back in Vine's salad days, my Twitter feed was overwhelmed with failed looping nonsense, prompting a number of unfollows.

As an intrepid young tech blogger at the time, I was obligated to explore the hot new thing. But while those apps have faded from view, Vine remained around long past its expiration date, thanks in large part to its $30 million acquisition by Twitter. You could say that it was the Ello, or perhaps Peach of the day. I remember when Vine first popped up as the it app of 2012. Those close to me know that I've always found Vine to be a digital monstrosity that served no real purpose and arguably regressed us as a species. My rejection of Vine isn't some newly realized, post-mortem revelation it's been a long-simmering beef. Now that it's gone, can we agree that Vine was a social media horror show that never should have existed? Six-second video-sneeze platform Vine today was unceremoniously banished to the great app store in the sky.
