A group on Facebook called The Papal Facebook Initiative is promising that when they reach one million members, they will send the petition to the Pope himself. The group tells us to imagine if…
…You could poke the pope.
…A new Vatican Office of the Curia had to be created, called the “Papal Facebook Attendant.”
This group is also getting press in the UK, including The Catholic Herald making mention of the group…
The idea began at the University of Cincinnati, where young students in a Catholic study group decided that the site would be an ideal vehicle for improving dialogue between the younger generation of the Church and its leadership. It has also been suggested that the site is a potentially valuable forum for increasing understanding of Church teaching.
