As the Pope gears up for World Youth Festival in Brazil next week, a unique opportunity is being set up to offer "plenary indulgences" to his Twitter followers and other online. This will be available to followers who have previously confessed their sins, have been absolved by a priest and have attended mass, they can follow along live through the social networking site and receive that special forgiveness. Users must follow the events live to participate. More details of this groundbreaking innovation for that Catholic church is found in an article online: http://mashable.com/2013/07/16/pope-forgive-sins-twitter/.
