The Pope's latest crusade

Spam the world with the Christian message


FORMER MEMBER of the Hitler Youth and now infallible Pope, Benedict XVI thinks it is a nifty idea for the yoof of today to spam others with Christian messages.
The Pope, who has offended right wing Jews by forgiving right wing non-Jews who don't believe that Hitler killed many of their relatives, and Muslims by quoting a 15th century Catholic saint, is now having a go at network managers who will have to unclog their networks from shedloads of Catholic spam.
Speaking at the Roman Catholic Church's World Communications Day, the Pope told young people to bear witness to their faith through the digital world. They should employ new technologies to make the Christian Gospel known, he said.
A Vatican website, www.pope2you.net, will be linked to the social network Facebook so that young people can send the Pope's message to their friends. This is assuming that they will still be their friends after getting a message from the Pope.
Fortunately few Catholics under the age of 40 listen to the Pope much any more as his doctrinal stances are increasingly less relevant to the problems of today's world. This means there will probably be few modern yoof willing to take part in the children's spam crusade. ยต
