A strange twist to technology here but a positive one for may.

Inspired by Vatican documents that called on Church officials to exploit the full potentials of the computer age, the Holy See's official broadcaster, Vatican Radio, is "podcasting" audio content to any of the world's one billion plus Catholics who own a portable MP3 player.

The service, launched with little fanfare during the summer, has proved unexpectedly popular.
"It has been a success right from the start," says Jean-Charles Putzolu of the Vatican Radio's web team.

Podcasting is a term that refers to an automated way of making audio files, such as radio shows, available for download over the internet. It gives broadcasters a new and highly flexible distribution method as users can save the file on their player and then listen to it whenever and wherever they prefer -- for instance, while travelling on an underground train.

"Godcasting", "iGod" and "podpreachers" are just some of the terms circulating on the internet and used to describe its usage in the world of religion.
Often accused of being old fashioned, the Vatican is an early adapter when it comes to this relatively new technology.



Well I think its good to see those of the faith being catered for, in this innovative way  :)
