Vatican City, Sep 8, 2012 / 16:12 pm
The Vatican has teamed 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.
"The message of the Holy Father will now be received in every part of the world."
The American technology firm will now work alongside the Vatican to produce eBooks and iTunes tracks of the Pope Benedict's weekly general audience.
