Apparently the Vatican has their own Minecraft server.
Robert Ballecer, a Jesuit priest who has apparently carved out the name “Digital Jesuit” for himself online, has started a Minecraft server for the Vatican. Not to build it. No, just as a place to do all the normal Minecraft things that folks do but in a less “toxic” environment. Folks seem a bit surprised. The Catholic church doesn’t exactly have a pro-tech image so a Minecraft server probably sounds out of left field to many people. I’m not Catholic, but I did go to a Catholic school for four years. A Jesuit one specifically, even. If there’s one thing I know about Jesuits (but there are still plenty I don’t) it’s that this kind of dorky merging of tech and faith is extremely their thing.
I can’t say I’m entirely surprised; quite a few priests have been known to be connected to today’s youth, sometimes in more ways than one.. I would also like to assist the Vatican with making a Catholic Gmod Server. I already know of a good church (skip ahead to 2:50 to see):
In fairness, this shouldn’t be too surprising. The Vatican is known to have blockheads.
