LaParola at the Vatican
Monday, March 23rd, 2009I often say that my Bible study computer program gets distributed and used a lot more than the simple accesses and downloads from my site would indicate. Occasionally I get feedback to remind me about this. For example, this morning I received an e-mail from a Catholic priest, that I translate here:
On February 26 I participated at the annual meeting for the priests of the city of Rome with our bishop, the Pope Benedict XVI. Entering in the room, I found on every seat a free booklet, of a certain Pietro Principe, called “Essential Guide to the Holy Bible”, Vatican Publishing House, 2008. On page 4 there was a brief mention of the theme “Bible and Internet”. It says, “There are many Internet sites dedicated to the Bible: an extraordinary wealth for knowing and studying the Word of God. Amongst the principal references we find…” and then follows a list of 11 sites, in which at fourth place is laparola.net. Personally, I add that some of those mentioned are not really sites on the Bible, but useful databases of pastoral material, and the others can not be compared with the quality of laparola.net and the program LaParola.
