I have a family member who works for a large insurance company where they have exactly this. He and his co-workers call it "Pong".

Then there are the old Jack Chick comic books which claimed the Vatican has a computer in the basement that contains the names of very Protestant on Earth.

As a Catholic I can tell you that the Vatican is not nearly that organized. Not nearly.
