As a Catholic Nerd with an iPhone, I am very excited about what’s coming this Sunday, in honor of this year’s World Communications Day…. check it out here. If this doesn’t justify you making the switch to the world’s greatest phone / ipod / game device / calendar / internet browser / e-mail / camera / mosquito repellent (yes, there’s an app for that), than I don’t know WHAT will. Here’s the snazzy new website the Vatican has just launched.
“The site and its applications were developed by Italian Father Paolo Padrini, a diocesan priest from Tortona. He also helped develop the iBreviary application for the iPhone and the Catholic Facebook application called Praybook, which allows users to access and share with others traditional Catholic prayers and texts from the Liturgy of the Hours.”

“I would like to conclude this message by addressing myself, in particular, to young Catholic believers: to encourage them to bring the witness of their faith to the digital world.”
– Pope Benedict XVI
