Vatican Radio is the broadcasting station of the Holy See, legally recognised by the international bodies. It is a means of communication and evangelisation created to serve the Pope's ministry. Vatican Radio has a legal status and is located in Vatican City. Its main task is to proclaim the Christian message, freely, faithfully and efficiently, and keep in contact the centre of Catholicism with the rest of the world. It was inaugurated by Pius XI (Radio message Qui arcano Dei) on February 12th 1931, and is an active member and founder of the EBU (European Broadcasting Union, in Geneva) of the URTI (International Radio and Television University, in Paris) and member of the URTNA (Union of African National Radio and Television in Dakar). Vatican Radio represents the Holy See at the ITU (International Telecommunication Union, in Geneva) and at the CEPT (European Conferences of Post and Telecommunication Administrations). Vatican Radio however is not an official body of the Holy See and therefore takes full responsibility for the contents of its programmes.
PROGRAMMES
Vatican Radio broadcasts Church and religious news, offering the kind of information which cannot be found in other media. Firstly it informs on events and activities of the Pope and the Holy See. Vatican Radio also covers political, social and economic affairs not only in the religious context, but also to help Christians to see in them the signs of the times and to encourage them to behave and take decisions in the light of their own faith. Through its liturgy programmes, Vatican Radio offers to its listeners, especially to those who are isolated or restricted in their religious freedom, a chance to follow spiritual events and worship. For a vaster audience, Vatican Radio broadcasts the celebrations presided over by the Holy Father in order to deepen the communion of the Church with the Successor of Peter. The programmes of Vatican Radio are for the most part dedicated to the various permanent aspects of the Christian Catechesis: the Word of the Lord, the Church and Patristic tradition, theology, Christian ethics, the Social Doctrine of the Church, Church history and Christian associations. A special attention is given to ecumenism and to inter-religious dialogue, especially in those programmes which are addressed to parts of the world where Christians are a small minority. A fair consideration is also given to human culture and arts, especially music, more suitable to the technical features of this means of communication, in accordance with a long Church tradition.

The Vatican Radio is a 30-minute broadcast highlighting current events through the eyes of the Catholic Church. With actual broadcasts of the Pope, the listener can hear firsthand (with the help of an interpreter ) the views, prayers and pleas of the new head of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI.
Although I am not Catholic, I have great respect for the traditions and views of the Catholic Church. Therefore, I was very interested in listening to this podcast to simply gain an understanding of world events through their filter. I found the broadcast to be very well done with interesting ways of approaching the most up-to-date news such as the Muslim extremist London bombings. It is great resource for staying on top of current events and gaining a new perspective on the world.

The Synod of Bishops Enters Its Second Day
webteam@vaticanradio.org
Mon, 6, Oct
(6 Oct 08 - RV) The Synod of Bishops entered its second day today, and began its work into the study of the Word of God. Pope Benedict addressed the bishops in the Synod Hall. Speaking about the psalms, the Pope said Whoever builds his life on this reality, on material things, builds on sand, and that only the word of God is the foundation of all reality. The Holy Father pointed to the current economic crisis, saying that we see with the collapse of the great banks that money disappears, and is nothing. The synod will be meeting for the next 3 weeks. This year's meeting is notable for the large number of women who serve as experts and auditors. One of the them is the American dogmatic theologian, Sister Sarah Butler. Earlier, she spoke to Philippa Hitchen about her experience. 00:02:39:89

Persecution of Christians in Orissa Continues
webteam@vaticanradio.org
Sun, 5, Oct
(05 Oct 08 - RV) Dozens of people have been killed in the Kandhamal district of India's Orissa state, and as many as 50 thousand Christians have been driven from their homes and are living in makeshift camps, following the outbreak of a violent anti-Christian persecution in late August. India's Steel Minister, Ram Vilas Paswan today said the situation has deteriorated so badly that the central government should seriously consider allowing the federal executive to take over police powers within the state. The Archbishop of Cuttack-Bhubaneswar in Orissa, Raphael Cheenath says the state government's response to the violence has been entirely inadequate and even conniving... 00:01:30:02

Pope Benedict XVI Opens XII Assembly of Synod of Bishops
webteam@vaticanradio.org
Sun, 5, Oct
(05 Oct 08 - RV) Pope Benedict XVI opened the 12th general ordinary assembly of the synod of bishops on Sunday at the Basilica of St. Paul's Outside the Walls.
For three weeks, more than 250 synod fathers will prayerfully reflect and discuss "The Word of God in the life and mission of the Church," together with lay and religious auditors from around the world, and with the help of many experts in the sacred sciences.
The choice of St. Paul Outside the Walls as the venue for the opening was made in light of the Pauline Year, which is currently underway.
Pope Benedict began his homily with a reflection on this Sunday's Gospel reading, in which the Lord recounts the parable of the landlord, whose tenants mistreat his servants and kill his son.
The Pope said the Gospel reading applies to our own way of thinking and acting; it applies especially to those peoples who have received the proclamation of the Gospel.
If we look at history, continued Pope Benedict, we are forced to recogniz
