Pope Blog

I read an article today on Yahoo News that was particularly interesting. The pope is encouraging priests to start blogging online. This relates really well to our Media class since we are blogging in it haha. The pope said, "The spread of multimedia communications and its rich 'menu of options' might make us think it sufficient simply to be present on the Web," but priests are "challenged to proclaim the Gospel by employing the latest generation of audiovisual resources," he said. I am in no way a fan of organized religion, but I feel like this is a great way to get their message out there. Many young people today do not go to church on a regular basis, but perhaps may keep up if the priests are blogging. The internet has finally made its way into the Vatican and if that is not a tell tale sign of how large and important it has become I do not know what is.
