For World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia, the Vatican is going high tech. It will be setting up a social networking site much like a Catholic Facebook where people can sign up to get prayers online and text messages from the Pope.
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?

I hope not, but still, I’m going to sign up. I got a text from Ron Jeremy once, but this would be cooler.
i really cannot wait to get a Facepope account.
I really cannot wait to SuperPoke the pope.
“The Pope has bought you 1 drink! Would you like to buy the Pope a drink?”
It’s Emperor Palpatine.
It’s called XT3, and no, you can’t send the pope a drink! :) There is an “ask a priest” feature though. It actually looks quite good, it’s not so much trying to mimic Facebook as create an environment for youth to share their faith.
