The Buddha and the Pope

Now we can all play at being the Pope. We can bully, wage war, lie, cheat and keep deep dark secrets while virtually having fun.

Cheyenne Erlich, a Tibetan Buddhist meditation guru and his world wide band of mysterious gamers at SGR Games, LLC launched their online game "Vatican Wars" on Facebook last week. The Holy Grail is to become the Pope and make changes to the hot button Catholic practices of abortion, same sex marriage, ordination of women and the use of birth control.

You just know the eyebrows are being raised at the Holy See but not a peep has been heard. It could go either way for the Catholic Church. The opening page of the site contains disclosure that SGR Games, LLC has no relationship with the Roman Catholic Church, the Vatican or the Holy See.

SGR Games, LLC was named after Saint Genesius of Rome who is said to be the patron saint of actors although the legitimacy of his sainthood is a matter of controversy in the Church.

It could very well be that this Tibetan Buddhist is helping to open the eyes of the world to the real Church or this Vassar graduate did the numbers...by this game will we conquer?
