Pope Benedict is eager to reach more young people, so he's embracing new technology, including social networking and text messaging. According to this Reuters article: The Pope will text daily messages of inspiration and hope during the six-day Sydney event while digital prayer walls will be erected at event sites and the church will set up a Catholic social networking Web site akin to a Catholic Facebook.
Wow is he going to get a lot of friend requests. But if he really wants to reach today's kids, he should start talking like them. For his first text, may we suggest: "Jesus luvz u. For realz."
