"Pope Benedict XVI tied his World Communication Day letter to the Year for Priest celebration by urging greater use of new technologies to spread the Word:

'Priests stand at the threshold of a new era: as new technologies create deeper forms of relationship across greater distances, they are called to respond pastorally by putting the media ever more effectively at the service of the Word.' 

"The Pope and the Vatican have been available on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and other sites for some time now."
