ROME (AFP) – The bishop of Modena in northern Italy told Catholic youth to give up a popular practice during the holy season of Lent: no text messaging on their mobile phones on Fridays.

Honestly, I believe this is a wonderful move, it is more relevant to the modern world. It will hit not only youth, but all those who live by cell phone, right where they live.
Hey! I don't have a cell phone either. I knew there had to be someone else out there.
nt 4 me :)
Are all of the 'Truth is Stranger' #92? (meaning, shouldn't this be #93?)
Wow, there are actually two other folks out there without cell phones?
