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 Stations of the Cross are Performed in Sydney
webteam@vaticanradio.org
Sun, 20, Jul
( 20 July 08 - RV) One of the most memorable events of the World Youth Day was when the Stations of the Cross were performed through the streets of Sydney. Spiritually moving for all involved, it was also physically gruelling for many of the performers, especially for Alfìo Stuto the 27 year old man who portrayed Jesus. During the event, he was dragged through the streets, hung upside down, and put on a cross. Sean had a chance to speak to him and Marina Dixon, also 27, who played Mary. 00:03:07:27

A Long Night at the Racecourse
webteam@vaticanradio.org
Sat, 19, Jul
(19 July 08 - RV) The so-called 'Pilgrimage Walk' began at 5 o'clock on Saturday morning.
That's when tens of thousands of young people started trickling across the Sydney Harbour Bridge. By lunchtime the youthful flow had become an impenetrable flood.
Their goal was Randwick Racecourse, venue of the Evening Vigil with the Pope.
Their purpose was to spend time with the Holy Father, enjoy the great entertainment, dance, sing, yell until they were hoarse - and eventually even get some sleep before Sunday morning's closing Mass.
In a word - it was one big party.
So when almost 200,000 partying, singing, yelling young people fell absolutely silent during the adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, the silence was truly deafening.
It was just one of the more moving moments (including the candle-lighting ritual) in an event that allowed the Pope his second opportunity to address the youth directly, after his arrival speech on Super-Holy-Thursday.
Benedict XVI took full advantage of this
