Here is a Catholic News Agency story about the Vatican teaming up with Apple to develop new hi-tech methods for communicating the works of Pope Benedict XVI to the world.

"It represents an enormous step on the international stage because, as you know, Internet goes beyond space and time," said Father Giuseppe Costa, the director of the Vatican's publishing house, Libreria Editrice Vaticana.

In recent months the Pontiff has used his weekly address to explore the theme of prayer in the story of salvation. His latest volume, "Prayer in the New Testament," is already available in print form. The new eBook format will be accompanied by illustrations from the Vatican's art collections.
