In this video, we hear from Vatican communications experts and producers of the "Pope Video" on YouTube about the importance of social media for evangelization in the 21st century. Despite the challenges, there is a great opportunity for the Church to connect with people through social media and spread the message of the Gospel to new audiences. Join us as we explore the digital world of the Pope and how he is using it to further the mission of the Church.
