brings Pope
to your phone
VATICAN CITY (AP) — With
some reluctnnco, tho Vatican
has made a concession to tho
p hone - fot to rod , fax-happy
ltttiOs Now there's a tolephono
service that lets your fingers do
the walking all the way to St.
Peter's.
The program, nicknamed
Dial a Pope.” permits callers
around the world to dial a 900
number, or similar special-cost
line, and hear a recording from
one of John Paul IPs recent
speeches or sermons.
The Vatican receives at least
f>() percent of the charge for
eat h trail to the service, official
ly called "Christian Messaging
Prom tire Vatican," organizers
say.
Promoters claim the service
could help build a fund-raising
network, and bring the pope's
message home — literally — to
the It75 million Roman Catho
lics worldwide.
"We have invented tho
world’s first electronic collec
tion plate," boasts Michael
i ahringer of the London-based
Clobal Telecom Ltd., which
runs tilt; service.
The Rev. Arturo Martin, a top
Vatican fundraiser, said the
Holy See endorsed the service
because of popular demand
!nan the phoning faithful.
In addition, it wanted to curb
a r e.h of unauthorized dial-a
. ope lines, some featuring
es not known to the Vati
(ho said
At least we know what it
the new service) is saying," he
But how much has It earned
lea the Vatican?
"That’s a very good question
actually, nothing so far,"
,1 Martin, a Spanish Jesuit
working to reduce the Holy
Sue's SBO-million deficit. "So
far, it's a failure."
He said thu church hail re
ceived ahuul $5,000 from the
service "not even enough to
cover the cost of the records" of
papal speeches provided by the
Vatican.
Nonetheless, Martin said,
public reaction to the service
has been "very positive.”
The papal messages, which
change each day. can be re
ceived worldwide, in English.
Spanish, French and Italian.
Fahringer noted the pontiff was
available "at any time of day or
night, in thu comfort and priva
cy of your own home.”
In the United States, callers
reach the service by ringing
000-568-7733. The Spanish
language service is
900-568-7799. The cost is about
S4 n tall.
