I saw the news on the Catholic News Service today that the Pope is embracing technology like never before. The Vatican has started a you tube channel and Pope Benedict is encouraging the faithful to share their faith via blogs, facebook, and other social media sites. He also addresses the dangers inherent in these new technologies. People are looking now more than ever to connect with people via the internet. The connections that some will find will be destructive. However some will be reaffirming, supportive and uifting. How great is the opportunity to connect with others and share the joy and hope we can find in the Gospel and by growing in our relationship with our Lord. We as those who have embraced Social Technologies have a unique opportunity to share the faith. We also have an opportunity to connect with others in order to form relationships that spread joy and goodness, inspire and strengthen our resolve to follow Our Lord.
