Pope Benedict XVI's Blog: His Message About the New Ways in Spreading the WORD

Cyberspace was so huge that even the pope himself----POPE BENEDICT XVI was encouraging us especially the Catholic Church to use our modern technology of communication in order to spread the WORD of God. Blogging was one of the simple way to spread the message of the Catholic Church. I'm not promoting a religion but rather pointing out that for those that who thinks that blogging is a fad or a form of vanity, blogging can also change the world depending on the message that you want to impart either in negative or positive impact.

In this digital age, promoting a business or a message that will change the lives of so many people in this planet is essential that even the pope observes that too. We are connected more than anything we can think of, the internet gave us the never ending possibilities.

Here is a part of the pope's message:
"Using new communication technologies, priests can introduce people to the life of the Church and help our contemporaries to discover the face of Christ. They will best achieve this aim if they learn, from the time of their formation, how to use these technologies in a competent and appropriate way, shaped by sound theological insights and reflecting a strong priestly spirituality grounded in constant dialogue with the Lord. Yet priests present in the world of digital communications should be less notable for their media savvy than for their priestly heart, their closeness to Christ. This will not only enliven their pastoral outreach, but also will give a “soul” to the fabric of communications that makes up the “Web”."
