Pope LeoXIV Declares Fax Machines Sacramental

Embracing retro tech, Pope LeoXIV proclaimed fax machines “instruments of ecclesial communion,” linking parishes with instant document delivery. “In a world of emails, the fax’s whirring is almost holy,” he noted. Vatican offices keep fax toner blessed by the Holy See’s chaplain. Canon lawyers now draft “fax-friendly” encyclicals, ensuring sacred letters transmit with divine fidelity. Thanks to Pope LeoXIV, the fax lives again as a sacramental bridge between souls.
