Catholic Online:
Last week, the Catholic Church contributed once again to a
bit of history. Benedict XVI became the first Pope to utilize
the technology of SMS texting services to broadcast a papal message.
What makes this really quite extraordinary is the
instantaneous nature of this type of communication. Benedict texts and
potentially faithful Catholics can read and respond to his words in seconds.
That really lends a new interpretation to the Gospel
mandate to, proclaim the Good News to all nations. Beyond the initial novelty
aspect of this mode of communications, is the underlying importance of utilizing
technologies for mass communications to teach and evangelize truthfully through
technologies that are bringing the planet closer together.
