High-tech devices silence the masses




Fed up with cellphones ringing during Mass, four Catholic churches in Monterrey, Mexico, are taking extreme measures to silence them......The four churches are illegally jamming cellphone signals with Israeli-made transmitters, the same kind used to protect embassies and presidential motorcades from bugs and bombs detonated by phone.

I actually really love stories about when churches just lose all patience, because in a way that's when they become really creative.

Tha authorities, by the way, have turned a blind eye to these shannanigans, and I for one say God Speed to the Mexican churches!

Even I turn my cellphone off during church and I never turn my phone off. Or well, okay, I turn the ringer off anyway...

By the way, the awful pun in the title was from the original news story, so you can't blame me for this one.
