One of the interesting points she made is that the internet has done a tremendous job in evangelizing and disseminating information in places where Christianity is either downright illegal or highly monitored by hostile governments. deerose I saw a program a while back featuring an American sister who works in Rome and is responsible for the Vatican website.

I love the idea of "extending hospitality" ... a beautiful image. I was glad for the fact that the Church recognizes the value of the "new" Internet technologies for communication and relationship -- even though, as Cardinal Ruini noted, they may not understand how to use them. I find it interesting that he notes the pope's book <em> Jesus of Nazareth</em> as what young people should be reading. It's a good read, but heady/academic in many places -- nothing wrong with that, but it may not be readily accessible to the general Catholic population. I think it needs a guide or something, especially for how to integrate what the pope is saying with one's experience of who Jesus is personally and within the Catholic faith community. Hey Jen! ..

I remember hearing one Trappist talk about how the web allows them to extend hospitality and show others their way of life without having to break enclosure.
