Dear Friends, I just launched News.va Praised be our Lord Jesus Christ! With my prayers and blessings, Benedictus XVI - on @news_va_enPope Benedict is ahead of Credo: we don't have a Twitter feed. But the Holy Father has, and he used it to announce the launch of what looks like a comprehensive Vatican News Service website, appropriately, on the Feast of Sts. Peter & Paul and the 60th anniversary of his ordination. Wow. It looks like the new website collects stories of interest from other Vatican sources, and organizes them all in one place. This is similar to the plan for Credo's website, except we plan to focus primarily on St. Louis.
It is probably better said that the Pope copied Mother Angelica. But "all" she did was to implement the vision of Pope John Paul and his predecessors with respect to modern media in evangelization generally, and The New Evangelization especially. This little nun launched EWTN with faith, hope, and about $300. Recently EWTN has acquired the National Catholic Register newspaper (not to be confused with that other National newspaper out in KC) creating a media outlet covering print, radio, television, and the web.
Credo has this new website, our quarterly newsletter and our speaker's series. It seems we have a long way to go.
