The Vatican has launched pages on Facebook and YouTube to help provide information about the beatification of Pope John Paul II. The Facebook page provides information about the beatification. The YouTube site offers video clips from important moments in the pontificate of John Paul II. The efforts are organized by Vatican Radio, the Vatican television center, and the Pontifical Council for Social Communications.

Germany's Roman Catholic bishops kneel down, ask for forgiveness over clergy's abuse
By The Associated Press (CP) – 1 day ago
BERLIN — Germany's Roman Catholic bishops say they are "deeply ashamed" by the abuse of youth by clergy men and the church's failure to hold the perpetrators to account.
The country's bishops kneeled down in a symbolic gesture Monday and asked for God's forgiveness at the beginning of their annual spring meeting in the western city of Paderborn.
The head of the German Bishops Conference Robert Zollitsch said in his prayer that men of the church have abused youth and damaged their lives.
Germany, the homeland of Pope Benedict XVI, was one of several countries hit last year by a wave of allegations of abuse by clerics.
The Bishops Conference said last month it planned to offer up to €5,000 ($6,900) to those abused by clergy or church officials while they were minors.

a huge wave?
Probably not the best metaphor considering the catastrophic tsunami that devistated Japan this past Friday.

The Vatican has launched pages on Facebook and YouTube to help provide information about the beatification of Pope John Paul II.

Just when you think the geniuses in the Vatican can't make things any worse, they decide to go commercial with a beatification (which ought to be a solemn occasion) and put it up on a social network.

There are plenty of legitimate, reputable and well respected news outlets to disseminate information regarding this or any other important religious news stories.

“to emit a huge wave of positivity, of friendship, of spiritual values through the open paths of social networks,”


B.S. Social networks have their place but it certainly is not to deal in serious news stories related to Catholicism.

Just my opinion.
