Cellular Saints

10:41 pm

I came across a Reuters article about a service that sends images of saints to cell phones. An Italian bishop thinks it’s crass and irreverent. I think it’s pretty cool. Instead of ordering pornography via cell phone, you can get a holy reminder. I have Our Lady of the Streets on my phone, and the stained glass window of the Holy Spirit from St. Peter’s Basilica is my wallpaper. If holy cards are fine, why not holy text messages?

    ¡Hola Mara!:

    Estoy de acuerdo con la idea que es malo “vender” los santos. Pero si es tan malo, ¿porque se puede vender cosas como dibujos, pinturas, ropa, y cosas así con los imágenes de los santos? Sí, los teléfonos celulares son un diferente tipo de comunicación, pero si esas a personas le encantan sus teléfonos celulares, este método de comprar imágenes de los santos es perfecto para sus vidas “conectadas.” (Lo siento por mis errores; el español es sólo mi segunda lengua.)
