The pope promoted the use of the digital world as a means of making the Gospel known in remarks to 20,000 pilgrims at his weekly audience Wednesday.
He says that the Internet has brought about change in the way news is distributed and how people relate to each other. Benedict urges young people to use the potential of the Internet to build a better world through bonds of friendship and solidarity.
He also underlines the need for a what he calls a culture of respect when navigating.
The Vatican has had its own website since 1995, but it’s attempting to reach further into the 21st century by launching its own, dedicated channel on YouTube, which will carry video and audio footage of the Pope’s speeches, as well as Vatican news.
The Pope launched the venture by saying:
"You must find ways to spread – in a new manner – voices and pictures of hope, through the internet, which wraps all of our planet in an increasingly close-knitted way."
