The Pope Is On YouTube
It is interesting how internet technology brings everyone closer, for the Pope, the leader of Roman Catholic Church is now, I say, also into social networking.
On January 21st, the Vatican opened their dedicated YouTube channel, and was announced in Google’s official blog and YouTube blog on the 23rd. According to Father Lombardi, “This initiative is aimed at creating a climate of dialogue, and at promoting open communications in all directions.” Well, this channel is not just for Catholics but to anyone who is interested in knowing the Pope’s activities and get the news straight from Vatican. You can listen to Father Lombardi’s message here.
I am not sure how everyone will take this news, but with this channel, the Vatican or the Pope is certainly taking advantage of the internet technology to reach the modern people, whether they are believers or non-believers.
What about Facebook?
