(Reuters) – 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.
Father Frderico Lombardi announced on Vatican radio that the Vatican had attempted to reserve the name and discovered that an unknown buyer had already done so.
The Father did not elaborate upon the Church’s reason for attempting to reserve the site. Other well known organizations have made preemptive purchases to prevent pornographic sites from being launched bearing their name.
