Pope knows best

Pope Benedict XV is acknowledging the growing power of mass communications. He has become more open on the internet and other sources of widespread communication throughout the past years and urges other priests to do the same. this is wise in my eyes. I think that what's a better way to reach a lot of people easily, cheaply, and effectively? Putting a bible in their hotel room dresser? Nobody even looks at those. I think the Church is coming of age and becoming more modern. I think that's going to help the Church make progress. In my church back home, we utilize technology more than any other in the area. You can catch the sermons online. You can tithe online, automatically if you wish by the week or by the month. With a growing population, perhaps by the popularity of the online community, the single campus has grown into 5 locations, but staying connected with only a few pastors, they take turns visiting each campus and showing live video feeds on a huge screen to the others. It's like watching TV on a big screen. The use of technology and things such as Facebook and blogs by churches will greatly increase their popularity and community. It will help their followers become involved and know what is going on within the church. You go, Pope Benedict XV!
