The Pope has said that technology "can't replace God" and that Man will "pay for his pride" if he thinks technology can give him equivalently divine powers.
He said that technology has helped Mankind, but that it has also increased the possibility for evil,
Benedict highlighted recent natural disasters, such as the Japanese earthquake, as evidence that humanity is not all-powerful.
He said that Man needs to "abandon the pride of wanting to become God" if a meaningful relationship with God is to be attained.
The Pope has previously spoken out against advances in technology, including the Internet. Last year he said that the Internet can exacerbate tensions, lead to "intellectual and morale relativism", not to mention the "pollution of the spirit", which we imagine ranks higher than environmental pollution in his list of dangers.

In ways he is right and can't really dissuade his opinion as it is kind of true that technology while helpful also brings on disaster. Although to that, I feel technology will also help us get out of disaster rather than "God".
Not saying I believe in God, but... What if God gave us technology to take care of ourselves? Itd save him a lot of work..
If some "God" gave us the power and intelligence to build and use technology, we should surely be allowed to use it without limitation by bureaucracy?
Religion will always reign.
this is very true! technology can never replace god!
