In a holy attempt to keep up with the latest trends, the Vatican is granting “time off purgatory” for those who follow Pope Francis’ tweets. So (if you’re Catholic) make sure to follow @Pontifex during World Youth Day, a week-long event beginning July 23rd in Rio de Janeiro, if you would like a briefer stay in purgatory. His Holiness Pope Francis already has more than 2.5 million followers on Twitter, but it will be interesting to see by how much that number spikes next week; we may just be able to determine how many web-surfing Catholics need a little boost to get to heaven.

The Vatican’s latest offering of “indulgences” is definitely nothing like those granted during the Middle Ages, where some churchmen sold the remissions for excessive sums of money. Instead, the Vatican seems to be appealing to its more modern supporters while also offering the same get-out-of-purgatory-free card to those who cannot afford the trip to Brazil. According to The Guardian, the Vatican’s sacred apostolic penitentiary, which handles and forgives sins, is “mindful of the faithful who cannot afford to fly to Brazil… [and] has also extended the privilege to those following the ‘rites and pious exercises’ of the event on television, radio and through social media.”

However, getting out of purgatory is not going to be as easy as clicking the “Follow” button on Twitter. If you follow the events of the World Youth Day online, you have to be praying with “requisite devotion” in order to receive your pardons from the Church. Also, you must have previously confessed your sins. Don’t worry though, if you’re Catholic and are planning to follow Pope Francis next week, you still have time to find your local priest and confess to make your twitter activity count.

The Vatican is making a big effort to include every faithful member of the Catholic Church during the celebrations next week, marking the unity of many different cultures and their presence at the World Youth Day. Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, head of the pontifical council for social communication, told the Italian Corriere della Sera, “What really counts is that the tweets the Pope sends from Brazil or the photos of the Catholic World Youth Day that go up on Pinterest produce authentic spiritual fruit in the hearts of everyone.”
