High-Tech Benedict

Speaking of the Vatican going high-tech, as we do below, here's a look at a Pope Benedict XVI text message on a GSM cell phone. The pope will send daily text messages directly to pilgrims with GSM cell phones during World Youth Day July 15-20 in Sydney, Australia. (This hasn't happened yet, so this is a CNS illustration credited to Emily Thompson and Paul Haring.)
