Cross Wires: Pop culture gives way to Pope Culture
Cross Wires has heard about pop culture, but 'Pope Culture Week' is a new one to us.
Every week day next week, the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) will ask its followers on Facebook a question about the life and teachings of Pope Benedict XVI.
The first person to supply the correct answer will win a copy of a new book about the Pope throughout Pope Culture Week.
The new venture into social networking follows a move by US Bishops’ Conference to tweet live from its general assembly meetings and is in line with Pope Benedict XVI’s Communication Message in May encouraging priests to go use digital media to spread the Good News.
And a contest combining electronic and print media has to be the best of both worlds.
