Minecraft Is Blessed

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.

And god said let there be assholes

Ah, religion… It lets you beat up mouthy kids in the name of the lord, while the rest of us would get charged with assault…

I wonder if that pastor got his inspiration from Fist Of Jesus? God works in mysterious ways….?
