It may have misgivings about the seedy side of cyberspace, but faced with falling attendances, the Catholic Church is seeking to harness the wonders of the digital age.reports the Independent this morning.
After the launch of its You Tube channel earlier in the year comes the news that a priest is allowing worshippers to light a candle with a click of a mouse
To make the dedication, the faithful of the church of Santa Maria Regina Pacis di Ostia, just 20 miles from the Vatican, need only find the correct section on the church's homepage (www.reginapacisostia.it), and click to "light" a candle and leave a message for a loved one.
Among hundreds of messages left so far are those to a missing person and another dedicated to victims of the year's Abruzzo earthquake.
