Priests should not use mobile phones or tablets to say the breviary according to Cardinal Robert Sarah, the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship.
Addressing the Summorum Pontificum conference in Rome on Thursday, Sarah said, that "electronic devices must be turned off or left behind at home when we come to worship God."
According to the Cardinal the usage of such means desacralizes prayer, "These apparatuses are not instruments consecrated and reserved to God, but we use them for God and also for profane things.”

Hey has a very valid point, and the liturgy is his business, after all he is the prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship. God Bless Cardinal Sarah.
