单选题 The Vatican has launched a Youtube channel.
The Roman Catholic Church was built on its capacity to communicate with a
global audience, so it should come as no surprise that the televized papacy of
John Paul Ⅱ should be followed by Benedict XVI proselytizing on the media
platform once known as Web 2.0. The Vatican announced on Friday that the pontiff
would have his own YouTube channel. He may not be nearly as charismatic a figure
as his predecessor, but Benedict's every move during his travels abroad has
received saturation coverage on cable TV, while an ever-multiplying number of
homemade videos have been popping up on the Internet from those
camcorder-wielding faithful who managed to get close enough to the traveling
pope. Now, a new dedicated Vatican channel on the Google-owned
website will feature regular video and audio appearances from the Pope, with
webnews coverage and commentary in Italian, English, Spanish and German. Google
says it does not plan on turning a direct profit from the venture, which will be
advertisement-free. "It is an evolution that is only natural, which corresponds
to the presence of the Church in the world," said Father Federico Lombardi, who
serves as both papal spokesman and head of Vatican radio and television
services. "Many people want to be able to know better what the Pope thinks and
what the Catholic Church proposes for the problems of today. From today it will
be easier (to find out)." Of course, each new media platform
carries its own inherent risks in the eyes of the Church. The Pope warned in his
message, Friday, which also marked the Church's World Day of Communications,
that the new technologies of Internet communication could reduce real human
contact. "If the desire for virtual connectedness becomes obsessive, it may in
fact function to isolate individuals from real social interaction while also
disrupting the patterns of rest, silence and reflection that are necessary for
healthy human development," he said. Plainly, the pontiff is planning to avoid
getting sucked into an addiction to Facebook. The unveiling of
a special Vatican channel on YouTube is, in fact, just the latest
iteration of the Church's ancient tradition of
adapting to those means of communication most effective at bringing its message
to the faithful. The medium may change, say Church leaders, but the message
remains the same — from pre-Rennaisance paintings of the Madonna to the CNN and
A1 Jazeera cameras perched above St.Peter's piazza, from early use of the
printing press to the worldwide reach today of Vatican radio and the website
launched by the Holy See in 1995. Though rarely ahead of the
communication curve, the Vatican is usually not far behind. What is perhaps most
baffling to observers, though, is that it can keep up with such trends and
technology even while being run by 60- and 70-year-old men who tend to talk
among themselves. Perhaps that ability is a sign that the institution has a
unique kind of historical intelligence — otherwise, it may simply be one of
those very modern miracles.
