			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Never let it be said that the Catholic Church doesn&#8217;t embrace change.  They lifted a ban on publishing Galileo&#8217;s works only 76 years after he died, and they lifted their general prohibition on works advocating heliocentrism only 40 years after that.  And only a year after the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadaver_Synod#Aftermath">Cadaver Synod</a> they forbade any future prosecutions of corpses.</p>
<p>So it should be no surprise that the Pope <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/religion/5354026/Pope-to-go-on-Facebook-as-Vatican-embraces-online-technology.html">plans to join Facebook</a> in 2009, only a couple of years after your mom:<br />
<blockquote>The Church wants to emulate US President Barack Obama&#8217;s use of the internet, both during his election campaign and since he took office.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hopefully, in addition to Facebook, it will include some of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKsoXHYICqU">Chesty</a> &#8220;Crush on Benedict&#8221; videos
<li>Use of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hg1LEsSeYJw">Chilean midgets</a> to mock rival Priests
<li>Creation of MyBenedict <a href="http://www.epolitics.com/2008/07/17/youve-got-a-friend-in-barack-obama-integrating-social-networking-tools-into-political-campaigns/">private social network</a>
<li>Viral &#8220;<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Benedict_XVI_Islam_controversy">things only evil and inhuman</a>&#8221; remix video featuring will.i.am, Scarlett Johnasson, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Herbie Hancock, and Nick Cannon
<li>&#8220;change.va&#8221; website to take suggestions for ways to improve the Catholic Church, followed by online town halls where Benedict <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dan-sweeney/taking-the-pro-pot-positi_b_179653.html">mocks the most popular suggestions</a>
</ul>
<p>You can keep track at the unfortunately-named <a href="http://www.pope2you.net/">Pope2you</a> website once it goes live (I am guessing that &#8220;Pope2U&#8221; wasn&#8217;t available, or maybe they were afraid of violating a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nothing_Compares_2_U">Prince</a> trademark).</p>
<p>And let me be the first to say, &#8220;Welcome to 1998!&#8221;</p>
