The Vatican says Pope Benedict XVI is getting his own channel on Google.
It says the Vatican TV Center and Vatican Radio are collaborating with Google on the project.
The Vatican's press office said Saturday that texts and video of the pope's speeches as well as news about the pontiff would be posted directly onto the channel. What does this mean for the world? A global connection! The Pope will now be accessed by millions of people around the world in their homes, jobs, and in the car. This is a giant step for the Vatican in its efforts to globalize the papacy. Now you can visit the Pope, without having to travel to Italy or to wherever he may be speaking.
