The Pope on YouTube

I came across this this morning. I will keep updates posted.

VATICAN CITY, JAN. 18, 2009 (Zenit.org).- Google, a symbol of the seemingly endless possibilities of the Internet, will team up with the Vatican Television Center and Vatican Radio in a joint venture to give Benedict XVI his own YouTube channel.

According to the Vatican press office, texts and video footage of the Pope's speeches supplied by Vatican radio and television would be posted directly onto the video-sharing Web site.

Apostolic Journey to the United States of America

Pope Benedict XVI began his U.S. visit yesterday. Below are links to some of the speeches that have been given. They are worth your time.

Also there was an interview a few days ago with President Bush that had a great segment I would like to share also:

Q Mr. President, final question.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes, sir.

Q You said, famously, when you looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes you saw his soul.
THE PRESIDENT: Yes.

Q When you look into Benedict XVI's eyes what do you see?
THE PRESIDENT: God.

Q Good way to end the interview.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you, sir.


Pope Benedict's schedule and speeches. (Some of these have not yet been given, and some have not yet been translated. They will soon, so check it more than once.)

President Bush's welcome address. This speech was very good.

Soccer Can Teach Values, Says Pope

VATICAN CITY, JAN. 9, 2008 (Zenit.org).- Benedict XVI says he hopes that soccer players and organizations can increasingly become a tools to educate in values.

The Pope made his appeal today at the general audience held in Paul VI Hall. Italian soccer players and representatives of the sport were in attendance.

"May soccer increasingly be an instrument for teaching values of honesty, solidarity and fraternity, especially among the youth," he said.

The group gave the Holy Father a soccer ball and a blue jersey from the Italian national team with "Benedetto XVI" written on it.
