Vatican City, Sep 8, 2012 \/ 05:12 pm (CNA\/EWTN News<\/a>).- The Vatican has teamed up with Apple to develop new hi-tech methods for communicating the works of Pope Benedict XVI to the world.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cIt represents an enormous step on the international stage because, as you know, internet goes beyond space and time,\u201d said Father Giuseppe Costa, the director of the Vatican\u2019s publishing house Libreria Editrice Vaticana.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe message of the Holy Father will now be received in every part of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tThe American technology firm will now work alongside the Vatican to produce eBooks and iTunes tracks of the Pope Benedict\u2019s weekly general audience.<\/p>\n

\tIn recent months the pontiff has used his weekly address to explore the theme of prayer in the story of salvation. His latest volume, \u201cPrayer in the New Testament,\u201d is already available in print form. The new eBook format will be accompanied by illustrations from the Vatican\u2019s art collections.<\/p>\n

\t\u201cThe illustrations are of great value also in the electronic version as the reader can access the book as they like. They can zoom in and out to examine the images and compare them with the texts for their own personal meditation,\u201d Fr. Costa explained.<\/p>\n

\tInitially the commercial agreement with Apple will only focus on the Pope\u2019s weekly catechesis. But the Vatican publishing house says that if this initial project proves popular, then more of Pope Benedict XVI\u2019s extensive catalogue of writings could be offered electronically.<\/p>\n

\tMeanwhile, Fr. Costa promises that the new eBooks will be both \u201ca beautiful art encyclopedia\u201d and \u201ca wonderful path of spirituality.\u201d<\/p>\n

\tWith first editions already available in Italian, the U.S. bishops\u2019 conference is now collaborating with the Vatican to bring the same books to the world in English.<\/p>\n
