Catholic World News reports that the Vatican will be providing Chinese translations of important documents out of the Holy See, as it continues to repair rifts with China.
Fine, but check out the Holy See website! Vatican never had reason to pinch pennies (oh, wait: there's Peter's Pence) and someone splurged on some servers in some room with frescoes, so the Vatican can have flashy intros and virtual tours. Libraries and museums well worth the cyber-visit.
Why hasn't the New Yorker sent Alexander Stille to stalk Antonio Cappella, Superintendent of the data processing and applied technologies section? The Vatican always had one of the original global visions -- fascinating to see how they come slouching toward the web.
