In another giant leap forward in his effort towards modernizing and broadening the global appeal of the Catholic church, today Pope Benedict XVI launched a YouTube channel. Setting the Church up alongside wannabe musicians and college pranksters on YouTube is a revolutionary step for the 2,000-year-old institution that has historically remained very set in its ways. Benedict said on YouTube today that he hopes to connect with a “great family that knows no borders,” and he invited viewers to “feel involved in this great dialogue of truth.”  The Vatican said that with the YouTube channel, it hoped to broaden and unite the pontiff's audience - an estimated 1.4 billion people are online worldwide - while giving the Holy See better control over the pope's internet image.
