thank you

I am not a Catholic but I think this is a wonderful idea. It never hurts to have reminders of faith. Who know that one small communication could change a life, or save a soul

Met a lady years ago, who immigrated from Bulgaria. She was a protestant. Asked why she was not a Catholic, since most Bulgarians were Catholic, she related this true story:

Her uncle hated the new protestant church in his village and went to a service to make fun. He didn’t like what he heard, and covered his ears. A fly buzzed around so much he had to swat it, and when he took off his hands to swat the fly, he heard the sermon, and converted

Now I am not arguing to convert my fellow Catholics, brothers in Christ, but maybe if some of these haters pick up the Pope’s tweets to mock him, they will hear what the words mean.

To the vile people attacking Pope Benedict XVI on Twitter, as someone who loves her German Shepherd…THANK YOU!!!

Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake: Be glad and rejoice, for your reward is very great in heaven. For so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.

I just might have to join Twitter.

I just finished reading a young hipster mocking The Pope for jumping on a trendy fad and the Pontiff not knowing even how to work it like the cool people do. Or so says 72 year old Bill Press, Yo.

Check out Twitchy….the haters are all over it, predictably! After all, they are so much more inclusive and understanding than the rest of us.

The tweets will be going out in Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Arabic and French.

The pope tweeting in Arabic – sounds like Zionist-Crusader aggression to me.

But while the pope will be one of the world's most high-profile tweeters and have many followers, he will not be following anyone himself.

Well, there is one...

The tweets will be going out in Spanish, English, Italian, Portuguese, German, Polish, Arabic and French.

The pope is fluent in all those languages, except maybe Polish.
