- How do you feel about these attempts to reach out our youth?
I think that reaching out to the youth this way is more effective 'cause the youth spends more than half of their days on social media networks. So the approach the new leader is attempting is definitely going to work.
- Do you think that having twitter accounts will help attract youth to take a greater role in the life of the Church?
- What are the benefits of having our Church leader tweet? Are there any disadvantages?
- Does your parish take part in the social media world? If so, please explain.
- Are there any other ways that the Church can encourage our youth to get more involved? Do you have any personal experiences related to this?
Yes, because while people are doing what ever it is they do on social media networks they will see tweets from the Pope every now and then and they can spread the word easily by clicking on the retweet button. This would definitely get him and the vatican a lot of attention because i think that he is the first Pope to ever reach out to the youth in this type of way. The advantages the community is that they get attention from people almost around the world. The Pope can also get word out faster to the world if there are any urgent messages that needs to be spread out quickly. A lot of adults may think that this idea might be too childish. That he may get to focused on this and disregard all of his other duties. No m parish does not take part in any social media because we have a fairly small group so a social media network will not be necessary. The church can interact with the crowd more during mass. I do have personal experience because my parish does not reach out the younger crowd.
