Pope gets emailed up

The Pope has kicked off his pontificate by setting up a direct email link via which the faithful can contact His Holiness on pressing matters of faith.

The e-Pope's addy can be found here by clicking on the "Greetings to the Holy Father" link. Or simply send a note to benedictxvi@vatican.va.

Alternatively, Catholics with a pressing need to chat with the Pontiff formerly known as Ratzinger could try contacting cybersquatter Rogers Cadenhead at BenedictXVI.com, since we gather that the cheeky ne'er-do-well has asked for an audience with Benedict XVI in return for handing over the domain, and might therefore be able to pass on your comments and queries.

Failing that, try pope@benny16.com*. Now that's what we call a happening, 21st-century papal addy. ®

*No, don't - we just liked the sound of it.
