Maria Jesus Galan had 600 Facebook friends. She liked to communicate with them, to spread good news. Pope Benedict did encourage us to use social networking to evangelize to others.
However, her Facebook habit has lost her something very dear--her habit.
Galan, you see, spent 35 years inside the Santo Domingo el Real convent in Toledo, Spain. It's an introspective place that doesn't encourage its nuns to have too much contact with the outside world.
However, according to the Telegraph, the convent allowed a computer into its midst 10 years ago.
Sister Maria saw the future that this computer offered. She digitized the Dominican convent's archives. The computer also offered more mundane assistance.
"It enabled us do things such as banking online and saved us having to make trips into the city," she told the Telegraph.
