The Pope denies registering Vatican.xxx

Pope Benedict XVI is a supporter of new media technologies.

Reuters disclosed that the Vatican made an announcement about the domain name, Vatican.xxx, effectively denying that they registered it themselves:

The Vatican said on Wednesday an unknown buyer had snapped up the internet address vatican.xxx, a domain combining its name with an extension reserved for pornographic content. “This domain is not available because it has been acquired by someone else, but not the Vatican,” Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi said on Vatican radio.

It seems that the ICM Registry reserved the domain, according to top WHOIS tool, DomainTools.

After all, the Vatican’s official name is The Holy See and it’s available in .XXX

Amen to that! 😀
