The Pope yesterday gave a speech to the assembled members of the Vatican’s relatively new Secretariat for Communications, which can be read here.
It is quite a good speech, technical at times, which reflects the overall strategy at present in the Vatican, which is somehow or another to mould into one operation the previously diverse and presumably sometimes warring fiefdoms that covered various aspect of communications. This is not simply a matter of making economies of scale and ironing our duplications, but rather creating a unity of vision. That this should succeed is a matter of immense importance to us all.
