If you are a Catholic looking for a saint in heaven to protect you, you no longer have to carry a small “holy card”. You can get the image sent to your cellphone.
A company in Italy started offering the service…but ran into opposition from some Catholic Church leaders who think the idea is crass and commercial.
“We found a need and filled it,” Barbara Labate, who came up with the idea with her business partner in a cellphone services company based in Milan.
Jesus and the Madonna are also for sale…
And always have been.
Who cares what the church says. I’d sell that crap to retards. The only good thing about religion is that it is not copyrighted or trademarked.
I think it would stop being “crass and commercial” as soon as the pope gets a percentage.
Hopefully these people will walk and talk near train tracks.
Getcher indulgences here!

Nice comment #3. What a wonderful person you must be to wish harm on someone simply because they want to have a saint on their cellphone. Who cares what they believe in as long as it brings them some level of comfort in this increasingly crass and hostile world? I’m an agnostic yet I can see the value faith provides to many people. Let them have it. It may be all the only thing that gets them through the cold and lonely night.
#5 – You are right and I am wrong. I guess it is perfectly OK to have a picture of an imaginary friend on their phone.
#6 No different than people having Star Trek or Star Wars figures on their phones.
Just as lame and hokey.
Or worse ones that have pin up girls that they will never meet, let alone touch or do anything like they think about them!

Are you sure?
Here’s a simple test… open a computer repair store and call it “Scientology Computer Repairs”.
Let us know how it works out.
I’m not ridiculing you, just pointing out that, in fact, there isn’t even ONE good thing about religion.
(Faith is a different story.)
“Crass and Commercial”? The Roman catholic church itself is Crass and commercial. Sell away.
This is the saint I pray to

#11 – not bad except for the chicks singing in the bathroom at the train station.
All well and good but why is Obi Wan Kenobi’s picture used?
#13: “The Force will be with you…always.”
I’d like to know what’s wrong with praying to one’s favorite porn star for relief and keeping their picture on the cell to remind you of said relief ?
I’ve noticed I pray much more quickly.
I keep a photo of my dog as my cellphone wallpaper. In Dog We Trust (especially when you own a 68 lb. pit bull terrier). She’s always there to protect me!
