Is your pastor on Twitter? How about YouTube?
Pope Benedict this week urged Catholic priests to join the digital world and spread the Gospel by blog, tweet and video.
"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," Pope Benedict XVI said in a message prepared for prepared for the World Day of Communications.
A presence on the web, Benedict said, "precisely because it brings us into contact with the followers of other religions, nonbelievers and people of every culture, requires sensitivity to those who do not believe, the disheartened and those who have a deep, unarticulated desire for enduring truth and the absolute."
