Is it sacrilegious to play with your iPod or Blackberry during church? Not after this week. Reuters reports that "an assembly of Catholic bishops on Monday called for the use of mass communications -- including television, cinema, DVDs and even iPods -- to be used to spread the Bible in as many languages as possible."

Don't let the robes and pomp fool you.  When it comes to adopting new technologies, The Vatican has always been accepting. One of Europe's first websites came from the Catholic church.

"The voice of the Divine Word must resonate over the radio, on Internet channels with virtual distribution (and by) CDs, DVDs and iPods, and on television and cinema screens," an official statement said.

The real question is, when is Apple going to add The Bible to it's applicaitons store.
