I like the focus and purpose of this idea. An outstanding use of Twitter.
Great idea! I wonder if we also could all respectfully ask for the Holy Father to celebrate a Mass in the Extraordinary Form or for the Holy Father to be present at the celebration of an Extraordinary Form Mass in some capacity. Just an idea. [That is not what my project is for. Let’s just thank and support and not ask for a thing.] Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!
Yep, great idea!
Excellent idea, Fr. Z.! I look forward to participating. I am very grateful for our Holy Father.
I think this is marvelous! I may even get a twitter account just so I can do this too. I particularly like the idea of a theme and everyone posting on the same day.
I’ll join in.
Yes! This is a great idea and a great use of Twitter and I will definitely take part!
I got so sad when reading some of the messages to him – it would be great to get this happening. Let’s do it!
Brilliant, Fr. Z! Count me in. I love my German Shepherd.
Nice idea Fr. Z … I am excited … ” [That is not what my project is for. Let’s just thank and support and not ask for a thing.] ” — I agree. I just want to support him and be good to him.
Awesome idea! Let us all know before hand and we can all give it a push on our blogs. Would be great to see the positive to make up for all the trolls.
Excellent idea. Let’s do it. In this modern age, the “evangelization of culture” has got to mean the proactive use of new technologies for good. Can’t let the hatred and the filth have the field all to themselves.
I’m in. If we get enough on a particular subject (i.e. SP or prayers or ‘intention’) it could trend worldwide.
Good stuff.
Like the idea. I’m in!
I love this idea. I rarely use Twitter, but something really focused and directed like this, I would absolutely do. Sort of a virtual flash mob serenading the Pope…
Fr. Z, you have managed what my kids and friends could not manage– I joined Twitter!
I am delighted to be retweeting Pope Benedict XVI!
I don’t know why I was so resistant. I think I LIKE twitter.
Another project is that as soon as he sends out a tweet, we could reply with a positive comment.
I noticed that if you expand one of his tweets there is a lot against the Church. Every time it is retweeted, all the replies are attached and I think the first reply remains first, whether it is one of us or some jerk.
I believe I’ve sent two tweets in total, but this sounds like an excellent use of Twitter. Count me in.
I do not have a Twitter account but for the sole purpose of participating in this wonderful idea of yours Fr. Z, I will gladly sign up too. I want to witness to others the support and love we share for our beloved Holy Father. It pains me to see all the negative diatribes and trolling that goes on so let’s band together and send him our prayers and love! Viva Cristo Rey!
Count me in, Fr. Z! This is a GREAT idea! Our Holy Father needs visible support, as well as invisible.
I don’t normally Tweet…. but I can get behind this idea. It will be an excellent way to push back against the… well… “people” who post not so nice things. Tremendous idea!
What a great idea. I actually joined twitter to follow you, so it’s been fun to find other faithful Catholics to support through that medium. Can’t wait to start the twitter charge in support of the Holy Father!
I do not tweet but for this project I just might open a Twitter account.
I don’t know anything about “tweeting” but for this, I will certainly find out and figure out how to join.

I have to admit– *someone* just might drag me kicking and screaming onto twitter just to help send a virtual group-hug to el Papa. I have never before come up with/seen a good use for it.
