Vatican makes YouTube site
Pope Benedict XVI reaches out to Web audience with new channel

Pope Benedict XVI and the Vatican launched their official YouTube channel on Friday, joining efforts by President Barack Obama and Queen Elizabeth II to reach out to the digital generation. The Ecclesiastical said it was launching the channel to broaden Benedict's audience.
VATICAN CITY — Pope Benedict XVI joined President Barack Obama and Britain's Queen Elizabeth II on Friday by launching his own YouTube channel, the latest Vatican effort to reach out to the digital generation.
The Vatican said it was launching the channel to broaden Benedict's audience while also giving the Holy See better control over the papal image online.
But Benedict also warned that virtual socializing had its risks, saying "obsessive" online networking could isolate people from real social interaction and broaden the digital divide by further marginalizing people.
The site, www.youtube.com/vatican, was launched the same day the pontifit praised as a "gift to humanity" the benefits of social networking sites such as Facebook and MySpace in forging friendships and understanding.
The 81-year-old pope has been extremely wary of new media and their effect on society, warning about what he has called the tendency of entertainment media, in particular, to trivialize sex and promote violence.
But Monsignor Claudio Maria Celli, who heads the Vatican's social communications office, said the pope fully approved of the Vatican YouTube channel, saying Benedict was "a man of dialogue" who wanted to engage with people wherever they were.
Celli said the Vatican was launching the channel in part to have some control over the pon-
tiff's image, which he said already was being used on sites respectful of the papacy and not.
"It's undeniable that certain images are already circulating," Celli said. While there is little the Vatican can do legally to shut down blasphemous or pornographic sites that use the papal or other Church images, he said it can at least control the content of what it puts up on its own channel.
The Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said the Vatican hoped that YouTube owner Google, Inc., would help the Holy See determine where Vatican images are being used so that it can better protect its own images.
Celli said the YouTube channel was the next logical step after the Vatican entered the digital age on Christmas Day in 1995, launching its Web site, www.vatican.va, with Pope John Paul II's traditional Urbi et Orbi message.
The Vatican plans to update the YouTube site daily with the most important papal news items that are produced by the Vatican's television station, CTV. The messages are available in Italian, German, English and Spanish.
Google's managing director for media solutions, Henrique de Castro, said Google was working out details to ensure the site was available in China.
The site has been expanded over the years and now includes virtual tours of the Vatican Museums, audio feeds from Vatican Radio, as well as the Vatican's daily news bulletin and key Church documents.
