Imagine that, the Pope may actually (with his “papal click”) launch the Vatican’s news information portal. I’m not so certain that the Pope is capable of clicking on a mouse or hitting ‘Enter’ on the keyboard, as apparently he’s incapable of finding his own head to put on his cute hat.
I have to hand it to the Catholic Church, more so than any other religious organization they have definitely made an attempt to keep up with the times in terms of the modern-day social media. What an incredible contrast; archaic in its social views yet technologically advanced…
This Church is operated just like any other global corporation, which is basically what it is, with one major exception: they don’t pay taxes!!! What a racket… TGO

VATICAN CITY – The Vatican is taking a leap into the world of new media next week with the launch of a news information portal that Pope Benedict XVI himself may put online with a papal click.
Vatican officials said Saturday that Benedict has been following the development of the portal — http://www.news.va — which will for the first time aggregate information from the Vatican’s various print, radio and television media in a one-stop-shop for Holy See news.
The portal is being launched Wednesday, the 60th anniversary of Benedict’s ordination as a priest. Monsignor Claudio Maria Celli, who heads the Vatican office that developed the portal, said Benedict may put the site online himself with a click from the Apostolic Palace.
