YouTube and The Vatican! Yes, Pope Benedict XVI has launched The Vatican's own channel on the popular website. I can see it the videos now, cardinals walking into doors, alter boys pouring tubes of Mentoes into bottles of Coke or perhaps the scandal of a video appearing showing a priest having his wicked way with a minor (you know the tapes are out there).
Vatican officials say it the site is aimed at everyone "from devout Catholics to the casual web user.", I see...if you can't bring the mountain to Mohammed. I think there are too many distractions for the young on the web as is, free games, videos of squirrels waterskiing, and porn, and I don't see how the Catholic Church will be able to acquire a segment of the youth market. Saying that they do give out free booze on Sundays. It is apparently the blood of Christ but it seems more like a ful bodied merlot.
Apparently the Pope has always been "fond of new technology", I can see him now reading The Bible on his Kindle. I bet he has The Da Vinci Code hidden on there somewhere, "its a page turner!". Would he be fired for reading Dan Brown's novel? Can the Pope lose his job? Or can only God decide the length of employment?
The news that the Catholic Church is embracing new media shouldn't surprise me.
