Ok, lets bite. I am not that old, but I sure do fell old now. After reading this article.
Questions
Is not Fr. Thomas J. Reese, S.J. already an avatar?
Will Jesuit avatars wear a roman collar for "Pete's sake"?
Will their be a Latin Mass in the Second Life?
Can we not, "Get a life" in the real world?
Souls in the Second Life virtual Internet world may need saving too, an influential Jesuit magazine says.
An article set to appear in Civilta Cattolica's August 4-18 edition talks of the popular virtual reality site as a potential place to provide spiritual needs.
"Essentially, the digital world can also be considered a 'mission world'," the magazine said.
"If there are people who express themselves through Second Life metaphors, and some of them also express needs of a spiritual order, then maybe we should not ignore the possibility of responding to that demand."
Second Life allows players to create animated proxies -- called avatars -- that live in a 3-D virtual world.
The article asked whether "it is possible that the avatars also live with a form of collective prayer?"
"Naturally yes, and that is happening already," it says.
