CNET News has reported that the Vatican which has recently endorsed an iPhone prayer application and has announced that Pope Benedict XVI will now get his own YouTube channel. According to Associated Press, Vatican Radio and Vatican TV Center are working with Google on this latest project. To publish both texts and videos of the Pope's speeches as well as other news about the Pope, that will be published directly to the channel.
Great to see that the Catholic Church is now implementing technology to spread its word to the thousands of faithful followers around the world. It will also be a great tool for the local Catholic Wantoks to keep in touch with the Pope. I guess YouTube was going to be the next step for a tech savy Pope who owns a 2GB white iPod Nano, who famously signed a mobile text message at the 2008 Catholic youth day rally in Sydney with "BXVI".
