Pope encourages priests to blog

We just came across an AP article that reported how Pope Benedict XVI is now encouraging priests to start blogging:

"just using e-mail or surfing the Web is often not enough: Priests should use cutting-edge technologies to express themselves and lead their communities, Benedict said in a message released by the Vatican."

This is a positive development for 21st century evangelization, which will continue to increase use of next-generation media to connect with the world.

Obviously a blog or other emerging social media wouldn't be every priest's cup of tea but used as a tool by those who can and would, a larger swath of the faithful can be reached and even encouraged to join parish communities in person.

The official communication from Pope Benedict XVI is contained in his message for the 44th World Communications Day: "The Priest and Pastoral Ministry in a Digital World: New Media at the Service of the Word".

Enjoy!

March for Life 2010

Amicizia Cristiana USA supports the March for Life. Our founder will be attending and we hope to see many of you there.

What is the March for Life?

It is a peaceful demonstration of protest against the 1973 Supreme Court decision in Roe vs.Wade that effectively legalized abortion throughout pregnancy, for any reason, or none at all.

Those of us who march on the anniversary of this decision each year give witness to our support for the right to life for preborn children - those least able to speak for themselves.

To find out more and what the Catholic Church teaches about this, visit the USCCB.
