This week, the Catholic Church begins its annual Lenten cycle, culminating in the holy days associated with Easter in just over a month, and given the flagging interest many young Catholics around the world are apparently showing in sticking to their Lenten vows, the Pope is taking his fight for their pledges to the Twittersphere.

The Vatican’s Exorcist Says Yoga Is Satanic
30 Nov 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Gabriele Amorth is the Vatican’s chief exorcist. And if he is to be believed, he’s pretty good at it with just under 70 000 banished evil spirits under his belt. He says yoga is the work of the devil and leads to a belief in Hinduism, which, in turn, leads to evil.

“Obscene, Ignorant” Susan Sarandon Calls Pope A Nazi
18 Oct 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Susan Sarandon has really rubbed America’s largest Catholic civil rights organization up the wrong way. The actress raised eyebrows the other day when she referred to Pope Benedict as a “Nazi”, and the Catholic League is now lashing out at her.

29 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Pope Benedict XVI took to Twitter yesterday and composed a tweet on an iPad before sending it out into cyberspace.

Despite a ban on traveling to the European Union for the last decade, Robert Mugabe once again found himself there this weekend. He attended the beatification of the late pope John Paul II.

UK church officials have given the holy thumbs up to ‘Confession: A Roman Catholic App,’ which walks users through sacrament, having them admit their wrongdoings – and keep track of their sins.

Well, it’s not like they had them explode from a cake and huskily sing ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. Jesus,’ but this comes pretty close. But hey, good thing they don’t allow gay folk to become Popes, right? Otherwise that creepy look on his face would be pretty hard to explain away.

Is The D’oh Catholic?
19 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Simpsons have been hiding a religious agenda, apparently. Sunday’s edition of L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s daily broadsheet, declared that ”Not many people know it, and he does everything he can to hide it. But it’s true, Homer J. Simpson is Catholic.” I guess drawing conclusions from nonexistent evidence isn’t entirely new to the region.
