A man's love for God, family and country

God, family, country ... those are the three things Dad loved the dearest.

Getting the message out

Officials from Facebook, Wikipedia and Google are at the Vatican for a symposium on the Internet and digital youth culture.

Pope Benedict XVI wants to get the Catholic church into the Internet age.

Benedict has already started a YouTube Channel this year and also e-mails and surfs the Web.

I imagine him looking at the silly animal videos on YouTube. Maybe he checks out the latest developments on the New Orleans Saints or St. Louis Cardinals on a sports site.

The participants will look into how the digital age is changing religious practices.

For the apostles, they traveled by land and sea to spread the good news of the Lord.

Now, with computers and mobile devices, churches have instant access to people.

God's word at the speed of light. Pretty awesome stuff.
