Catholic predators in cyber-space!

[Brother Temperance]

In a belated attempt to emulate the success of Landover's Godly missionary work in the virtual world, the Pope's carrion crows are increasingly turning to the internets to find impressionable souls to harvest for Satan.

Roman Catholic missionaries must reap a virtual harvest of cyber-souls in the kingdom of Second Life: this is the new instruction to the faithful.
It appears in the Jesuit journal La Civiltà Cattolica, a Rome-based publication approved by the Vatican Secretariat of State, in an article by the academic priest Father Antonio Spadaro. For Catholics in the postcolonial era, proselytism has become a dirty word, but there is now a new land to conquer for Christ, a computer world in which to convert nonbelievers.
Father Spadaro urges Catholics to go out into the simulation game of Second Life, to lead the cyber-embodiments of their fellow men and women out of the many temptations that exist there. Second Life players create a virtual version of themselves – an avatar – and wander through an ever-growing virtual reality with its own currency, industry and culture.

In his Jesuit article, Father Spadaro, 40, asks: “Is there [cyber] space for God?” He quotes a Swedish Muslim who says that his avatar prays regularly “as he prays in real life”.
Father Spadaro cautions the uninitiated that “the erotic dimension is very present” in Second Life.
While the virtual world might be a refuge for some people seeking to flee the real one, it is also full of people seeking something more from life, including, possibly, religious enlightenment, Father Spadaro says. “Deep down, the digital world can be considered, in its way, mission territory. Second Life is somewhere where the opportunity to meet people and to grow should not be missed. Therefore, any initiative that can inspire the residents in a positive way should be considered opportune.”
Admitting that the anonymous nature of the site means a person’s virtual appearance can be open and honest, he adds: “On the other hand, one can also get caught up in a spontaneity that knows no limits or discretion.”
He has a reputation for counter-cultural innovations in the spirit of Christian justice. He has lauded the singer Tom Waits as a role model for Catholics, because he represents the “marginalised and misunderstood”. He paved the way for the rehabilitation of Oscar Wilde by the Church when, on the centenary of the homosexual writer’s death, he praised the “understanding of God’s love” that had followed the writer's imprisonment.

The false whore Church must be in bad trouble indeed. They are trying to build alliances with Swedes, Mudslums and sodomites, and their search for new 13-year-old boys to molest seemingly never stops. It is only a matter of time before Jesus tosses all these followers of the Antichrist into Hell where they belong. Praise!
