I just read this article about the Pope being an iPodder. Apparently, it was when Pope Benedict XVI went to visit the Vatican Radio's broadcasting headquarters, where he was presented with an iPod nano and with it preloaded songs of Classical Music and Vatican Radio podcasts. Now, the Pope can stay connected and be kept up to date with his iPod. In fact, he has stated he wants to use the latest technology to connect his message to Catholics. I think that's really great, Pope John Paul II also encouraged using technology to bring the message to the faithful. The first pope to embrace technology was Pope Pius XI when he started the Vatican Radio almost 75 years ago.
Hey perhaps, Pope Benedict XVI will start to have his homilies and daily messages be videocasted as well. Maybe he can start to write his own Vatican blog!
