The occasional, often ill-considered thoughts of a Roman Catholic permanent deacon who is ever grateful to God for his existence. Despite the strangeness we encounter in this life, all the suffering we witness and endure, being is good, so good I am sometimes unable to contain my joy. Deo gratias!


Although I am an ordained deacon of the Catholic Church, the opinions expressed in this blog are my personal opinions. In offering these personal opinions I am not acting as a representative of the Church or any Church organization.

Pope Benedict Launches Vatican News Site...with a Tweet

For several years now, Pope Benedict XVI has been encouraging the universal Church to take advantage of the new technologies as a means to evangelize the world in response to Jesus' command to "Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations..."
It would seem the pope is getting a little techno-savvy himself since today he used an iPad to launch the Vatican's newest website: News.VA...and he did it with a tweet! I've included a video of the launching below. The pope got more than his share of advice and assistance from those involved in launching the new site.

The website is actually quite good, with excellent coverage of world news, the Church in the world, as well as happenings in the Vatican.
