Catholic Church steps up to YouTube

Today, Google and YouTube announced the launch of www.youtube.com/vatican, the YouTube channel dedicated to the activities of the Pope and events in the smallest state in the world, Vatican City.

Footage on the channel comes from Centro Televisio Vaticano (CTV) and Vatican Radio (RV), so the primary language is Italian, but there will be information in Spanish, English, and German as well.

Pope Benedict XVI stated that the page has been set up "so that the Church and its message continue to be present in the great Areopagus of social communications...and so that it is not a stranger to those spaces where numerous young people search for answers and meaning in their lives."
