The pope died

[Liz]

Thanks again, Peter.

I appreciate that you took the time to read it and for your nice comment.

Have a great week.

Hi Liz,

Nice to see the new Pope out and about in his Pope Mobile and not enclosed like Pope Joh-Paul II had to. I just hope nothing happens to the new Pope like it did with him, I never liked the Pope Mobile after it was enclosed it made it so impersonal in a way, but was necessary.

I can't for the life of me understand the fanitics that must kill the good people of the world, but there is always a higher purpose as you fully understand.

It was a good story you related Liz and I meant to post that to you but kept forgetting.

And now he has an email address as well. Imagine that email server and the stress it is going to get from the 1.1 bil Catholics around the world sending him emails. Haven't seen what the address is yet, but can only imagine it will fit the bill.

Walterick, that was an interesting read.

Is this a kind of 'gimmick' or will he actually read them?

Not some kind of gimmick it is real. He is trying to be more accessable to the world is my take on it.

Here it is - the others have nothing to do with the Pope - sorry! ;)

E-mail Savvy: Benedictxvi@vatican.va


VATICAN CITY, APRIL 21, 2005 (Zenit.org).- Newly elected Pope Benedict XVI already has an e-mail address.

The address which was just announced by the Holy See's Internet office is benedictxvi@vatican.va. The address in Italian is benedettoxvi@vatican.va.

Benedict XVI is following in the footsteps of his predecessor John Paul II, who, thanks to a portable computer, on Nov. 22, 2001, promulgated online the postsynodal apostolic exhortation "Ecclesia in Oceania."

John Paul II also used e-mail to receive messages from the faithful worldwide.
