Holy men and email

Sometimes, I hate to admit, I miss being in Catholic schools. Oh, I don’t miss the steady rotation of sitting, standing and kneeling one has go through in mass. I also don’t miss the scandals caused by the dress code. Sometimes students would push the dress code to the limit, such as, wearing a polo shirt with stripes to school. Such naughty students were immediately sent home and asked to change their clothing, don’t worry. What I do miss, however, is being in Religion Class… a class where one could ask the most critical questions. Such as, does the Pope use email?

Yes, he does.

The email address of Pope Benedict XVI is: benedictxvi@vatican.va. According to the About.com article, it is unlikely you will get a response. I’m sure John Paul II (whose email address was: john_paul_ii@vatican.va) would have responded to your email but I suppose that goes without saying.

This topic has me wondering… Does the Dalai Lama use email? I did some Internet searching but didn’t find any results. If I could find Richard Gere’s email (they are BFFs, you know) then I suppose that would work as a substitute…
