The Vatican looks to harness technology to spread the Word of God
In tune with the times, the Vatican has given the nod to spread the Bible in as many languages as possible using modern means of mass communication.

At a conference in the Vatican, Catholic bishops argued that the written word was not sufficient and have called for the Holy Bible to be spread using the internet, CDs, DVDs and even iPods. According to an official statement from the Vatican, “The voice of the Divine Word must resonate over the radio, on Internet channels with virtual distribution (and by) CDs, DVDs and iPods, and on television and cinema screens.”

While the Holy See has always been quick to adopt new technologies like the internet to keep pace with the changing times, it still clings on to some outdated beliefs and practices that have no place in the modern world 
I finally decided to write a comment on your blog. I just wanted to say good job. I really enjoy reading your posts.

This sounds like a good way to reach many more people, especially the younger people they no doubt want to connect with, and become part of their lives.

Thanks, Eileen. I guess the Church must keep in touch with the younger generation or risk losing them
