All of that is very nice, but really, we’re trying to go a little more new-school here.
By new-school, we mean hittin’ up the Twittersphere, and hard. For the first time in this historical process, lay-men and -women had the chance to interact in real time as television outlets blanketed the coverage from the Vatican.
And no, these comments aren’t exactly pious.
