Religion and technology can be quite a good mix for people that are religious and tech savvy. iPhone of course is the “hip” gadget for tech savvy at the moment and now religious people can make use of it for religious purposes as well. An iphone application called iBreviary developed by Rev. Paolo Padrini and Dimitri Giani is the app that has been endorsed by Vatican which is available in US and Europe for 99 cents at the Apple store.

Seems like Pope is starting to get into technology and make his organization more tech savvy. I guess he is even “down” with using IM acronyms and such while sending text messages. This is what Monsignor Paul Tighe, secretary of the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Social Communications told the AP,

The Catholic Church is learning to use the new technologies primarily as a tool or as a mean of evangelizing, as a way of being able to share its own message with the world.
