"Now, Israel, hear the statutes and decrees which I am teaching you to observe,” declares Moses the lawgiver in this Sunday’s first reading. Technologically speaking, we’ve come a long way since Moses descended Mount Horeb with divine teachings written on stone tablets. The Vatican publishing house announced this week it has reached agreement with Apple, Inc. to make the teachings of Pope Benedict XVI available in electronic form accessible to a variety of high-tech devices.

The Libreria Editrice Vaticana will work with Apple to produce eBooks and I-Tunes containing the pope’s catechetical talks from his Wednesday public audiences. A series on “Prayer in the New Testament,” already available in print form, will soon be produced in electronic formats and illustrated with artwork from the Vatican collections. The pope’s works will eventually be available through computers, smart phones, and PDAs, the publishing house announced.
