St. Louis's New Catholic Archbishop to Be Announced Via Text

by Lee Bains on February 25, 2009 at 08:45 PM



In step with the Roman Catholic Church's measured technological strides, the Archdiocese of St. Louis announced Monday that the identity of the Missourian archdiocese's next archbishop will be announced to the faithful via text message, the AP reported at Fox4KC.com.

Since the archdiocese's former archbishop, Archbishop Raymond Burke, was selected to head the Vatican supreme court this past June, the seat has remained empty. The name of the man selected for the position will be announced in Rome and, as quickly as possible, texted to all who have registered with the Archdiocese of St. Louis Web site.

Since the announcement will be made, on a day to be determined, at 5:00 a.m. St. Louis time, we'd recommend that diocesans go to sleep with their cell phones set to silent mode. [From: Fox4KC.com Via: Textually.org]
