Geek snags Pope domain name

Tech geek and author Roger Cadenhead registered the domain name  http://www.benedictxvi.com a few week ago.



Visitors to the site were redirected to Cadenhead’s website, on which he rejects the suggestion that he might be planning to cash in by selling the site to pornographers because they would be willing to pay the most.


“For the love of God, people, that’s not going to happen,” Cadenhead said.


“I will be running any plans I have for this domain by my own Catholic doctrinal enforcer, my never-miss-a-Sunday grandmother Rita.”


Cadenhead said that he was considering his options but that if the pope’s representatives were to approach him to discuss taking over the site, he might make a few requests, including “one of those hats” and “world peace.”
