Priestly Advice Online

A website has been set up in Italy
whereby hundreds of priests from all over the country can offer pastoral help
and advice on the Internet but not the sacraments.
Called Pretionline.it,
users can request to hear the advice of a priest, all of which is given in
confidence. Each priest is listed according to his region, and under his listing
is a short bio and statement of his area of expertise. There are 825 priests
registered to help on the site, and some limit their pastoral skills only to
certain groups, such as the lonely and the sick. Others specialize in exorcisms,
helping widows or parents who have lost children.
Each priest has a “traffic
light” symbol beside his name. Users are advised to avoid a priest whose
particular light is red, as he is likely to be busy in his parish. One priest
who is busy in three dioceses has a red traffic light that is “always on,”
according to an article on the site in today’s Il Giornale.
The venture has
the blessing of Italy’s bishops, but they warn the Internet cannot be used to
give or receive the sacraments.
>p>“Contacting a priest via the Web can
be useful to get advice, opinions, suggestions and encouragement,” said the
general secretary of the Italian bishops’ conference, Bishop Mariano Crociato.
“But neither confession nor true spiritual direction is possible through this
form of telecommunication.”
