Pope's Email Address

I was quite surprised to see an email address listed for the Holy Father at the official Vatican Web site. I'm serious--see for yourself.

Send emails to Pope Benedict XVI at: benedictxvi@vatican.va

You wouldn't have been surprised, if you had read my blog yesterday, Boney. ;)

(All the cable news media had feverishly mentioned it in the morning)

Here are the email addresses, in the language of your choice:

Deutsch: benediktxvi@vatican.va
English: benedictxvi@vatican.va
Português: bentoxvi@vatican.va
Español: benedictoxvi@vatican.va
Français: benoitxvi@vatican.va
Italiano: benedettoxvi@vatican.va

Even for the late great Holy Father, they didn't have an email in Polish, Polish_Girl, but I'm sure you can send your greetings in Polish or any language you want, by using whichever email address you choose.

I will be sending mine in German.

Cheers,
Victoria

There really isn't much surprising about the Vatican website posting email addresses for PBXVI. In this day and age it is almost expected.

Other parts of the Vatican website need work. Immediately after Cardinal Ratzinger chose his new official name, I went to the site to research PBXV to seek clues as to his choice for the name. I found they only had a few apostolic letters, and an encyclical or two. It would be great if they could expand PBXV's entries.

Yes, Polish_girl, it is the Pope's e-mail address, both the Boston Herald, and the Providence Journal had the address printed..Don't expect the Boston Globe to have it, that's for sure, being a sub of the NY Times.....

Quick, Jimbo, Boney!

The Pope is giving a LIVE audience with journalists only being carried by Fox News...

My first, and perhaps for all English-speakers, time hearing the Pope speak English.

Of course, there is an accent (a gemütlich Bavarian one), but he didn't once falter.

He started in Italian, then English, then French, now he's in German. Now Italian again. Hmm.

When he got to the line of "I want to continue the close association with journalists started by our late Pope", the audience broke out into cheers.

Every time he's switched languages, he's gotten such APPLAUSE as you've never heard.

Gosh, I knew there was a reason I turned on TV after coming home...

Cheers,
Victoria

Yes, it is the Pope's mail. But of course he cannot read all the mail he receives. I don't know if there is any way of contacting him directly.

Claudio Tellez:

Have you tired sending him an old-fashioned telegramme? And if I were you, you could send it to his old office in the Citta Leonina, rather than to his new digs in the Vatican.

When I sent the Queen (I'm British), a wire on the death of her mother, I got a reply within 2 weeks, signed by a lady-in-waiting, but quoting a passage from my telegramme which apparently the Queen was touched by.

Who knows. It might work.

Cheers,
Victoria

And finally, psst!

My latest post regarding the First Papal Audience with Journalists, which was only covered in the US by Fox News.

Now there's a surprise.

Cheers,
Victoria

Does Francis have an email address to, or is the supposedly hip and happening pope behind the times?

Instead of everyone getting mushy about the polish girls question.. Why are none of you people asking why his holiness is not speaking out in defense of our Christian brethren being slaughtered by the murderous mania lie maniacs know as ISIS and all the other ISLAMIC fascists groups tearing through AFRICA and Middle East! He is the father our our church yet stays silent.. When he could make a huge difference to the lives in danger in those countries! We need to ask these questions and give no person in his great position of global power off the hook! Your holiness! Speak out on the genocide! Stop whitewashing Islam as a religion of peace! When clearly it isn't just read the Koran every page is dedicated to murdering Jews Christians and all non muslims.. They advocate the wholesale rape of women and little boys and girls.. They burn their churches and villages, crucify them behead them the list goes on and on! As Christians we must speak out! The truth will set all of us free from a world deluded by political correctness I calling Islam what it is.. Certainly not a religion of peace but war murder and genocide! But we've been lied to by everyone forever so some still buy that old tired message! But not me.. I hold accountable every politician or pope who will not tell the truth... You have the moral authority your holiness.. No one else does.. Please help our fellow Christians stop pandering to this vicious ideology and start telling the truth or you will be known as the pope in WWII who silently agreed with hitler in mass murder then let war criminals leave w passes thru Italy on way to South America! History will not view your desertion kindly your holiness.. But neither do I !
