The Vatican’s Web
Posted on May 8, 2008
In an effort to lure a new generation into its fold, the Catholic Church is setting up a social networking site similar to Facebook. God help us. From The Gazette: “Pope Benedict will text message thousands of young Catholics on their mobile phones during World Youth Day in Sydney in July, hoping going digital will help him connect better with a younger audience.” (Like that’s gonna happen.)
CrunchGear has this bit of hilarity: “Wait, I can get a text message from the Pope!? I’m not even Catholic but that sounds so awesome! Think he’ll use texting shorthand? Like for the Lord’s Prayer? to: god n hvn: u r kool. we want kool & 4 earth 2b like hvn. giv us food 2day & 4giv r sinz like we 4giv sinz. lol! save r souls, cuz we kno u r tight, u r strong & u r kool 4evs. werd.”
