"Priest uses text messages
to communicate his sermons"

A northern Italian priest has started sending his sermons via text message.
Don Ambrogio Cortesi transmits his thoughts daily to 500 parishioners and 200 friends.
He got the idea from a 70-year-old woman who insisted on having sermons delivered to her house as she couldn't go to the church.
He sends his thoughts and bits of Luke, his favourite gospel, every morning, reports Giornale newspaper.
The priest from Vimercate said: "The gospel itself has reached our days using different media."
"Gospel writers dictated and narrated it, and at some point they started printing it. I'm using the media of my time," he added.
Ananova reported in July how 2,500 teenagers in Germany followed the first ever mobile phone church service via text messages.
