Who in the Vatican is reading "The Church and New Media"?

Well, besides the Pope, of course.

The current issue of Inside the Vatican features a nice interview with Monsignor Paul Tighe. He’s the Secretary for the Vatican’s Pontifical Council for Social Communications, a long title that basically means he’s the Vatican’s new media guru.

I met Tighe in Rome and have written about him before. He is very insightful and really understands the power of new media. But in his Inside the Vatican interview, he closes by mentioning some obscure American book.

Monsignor Paul Tighe’s interview.

Has anyone heard of this book? It sounds pretty good.

The chapter he refers to was written by Jen Fulwiler, herself a product of blogging conversion. The chapter is a must-read, so if you haven’t bought the book yet you really should!
