Italian Catholics sacrificing texting for Lent

I think that this is an excellent idea in so many ways. First, it involves real sacrifice for people who use these products. Second, it's a highly visible statement which I think in today's world is important. Third, it encourages alternative social interaction. And finally, it serves very effectively to demarcate the season.

I'd love to see this become an annual Lenten effort and I'd love to see it spread world-wide.
