VATICAN CITY (Reuters)
                  -- Pope John Paul will take
                  his message to millions of
                  cyberspace Catholics from
                  next week when Internet
                  users around the globe will
                  hear his teachings live via
                  their computers, the Vatican said on Monday. 

The world's one billion Roman Catholics 
will be able to hear and see the
Pontiff recite his Angelus prayer 
on Sundays, conduct his general audience
on Wednesdays and follow other ceremonies 
in the Vatican as well as the
Pope's travels abroad. 

"This is a further sign of the Holy See's 
efforts to boost its presence in the
world of modern social communication 
to favour the spread and knowledge
of the Papal Magisterium and strengthen 
the bonds of ecclesiastical
communion," it said in a statement.
