The tech savvy pontiff

He’s clearly not your average Pope (if there even is such a thing). Pope Francis uses technology as a tool in ways that have never been seen from the Vatican. Will this help him reach more people with a message of faith or is it simply something to improve the power of the Catholic church?

Earlier this week, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, went on CBS to talk about the effect Pope Francis has had on the Catholic Church’s popularity. ”The crowds at Sunday mass are up, confession lines are longer, inquiries about the Catholic faith are more abundant, and even the collections have gone up.” Pope Francis’ tenure has been good for the soul-saving business.
