The following comes from Frank Weathers:Shouldn’t comes as a shock really, as Jesus Christ wants the same thing from us too.Here’s a little snippet of Andrea Tornielli’s report on Pope Francis’s message to the leadership in South America, and to the episcopate everywhere.Francis concluded his trip to Brazil with another wide-ranging speech to the coordinating committee of the Latin American Episcopal Council (CELAM). But Francis’ words will most certainly resonate beyond the Latin American continent.The Pope asked bishops to give a missionary slant to the daily activities of local Churches, explaining that the “change of structures” (from obsolete ones to new ones) will not be the result of reviewing an organizational flow chart” but will “result from the very dynamics of mission.” Francis recalled that the general assembly of Latin American bishops at Aparecida in 2007 had presented “pastoral conversion” as a “necessity”. The Pope then asked bishops to reflect on some questions with regard to the current state of the Church: “Do we see to it that our work, and that of our priests, is more pastoral than administrative? Who primarily benefits from our efforts, the Church as an organization or the People of God as a whole?”The questions then focused specifically on the laity and their role in the Church: “In practice, do we make the lay faithful sharers in the Mission?” As pastors, bishops and priests are we conscious and convinced of the mission of the lay faithful and do we give them the freedom to continue discerning, in a way befitting their growth as disciples, the mission which the Lord has entrusted to them? Do we support them and accompany them, overcoming the temptation to manipulate them or infantilize them?” His words portray the picture of the Church’s current situation in a number of countries, European ones too.Speaking of the importance of the Church engaging in dialogue with the world around it, Francis referred to what was said at the Second Vatican Council to explain the basis of dialogue with contemporary society: “The joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the people of our time, especially of those who are poor or afflicted, are the joys and hopes, the grief and anguish of the followers of Christ as well.” The Church needs to be aware of the varied “scenarios and the areopagi involved.” “If we remain within the parameters of our “traditional culture” which was essentially rural, we will end up nullifying the power of the Holy Spirit. God is everywhere: we have to know how to find him in order to be able to proclaim him in the language of each and every culture; every reality, every language, has its own rhythm.”Read it all.Not sure what I mean by the term intentional disciple?

Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt talks up the company's vision for online video Wednesday in New York during YouTube's Newfront event for advertisers.(Credit: Shara Tibken/CNET) All of these companies, along with Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and many others, are vying for viewers online, and original programming is one way they're attracting consumers. Netflix's "House of Cards" series has proved popular, and the company will follow with other programs such as a new season of "Arrested Development. YouTube, known for its user-provided video clips, also has pushed to include more curated, premium content on its platform. It has launched dozens of funded channels as part of its initiative to bring original, higher quality content to YouTube. The company last month said it will launch a series of theme weeks to showcase its premium channels, starting with YouTube Comedy Week from May 19 to 25. YouTube's event for advertisers and brands on Wednesday included stars of some of the more popular YouTube shows, such as Felicia Day from "Geek & Sundry," as well as music acts such as Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dogg) and Macklemore. The company didn't discuss any revolutionary changes to the site or its programming, but it highlighted the success of some of its current popular channels and shared details about their planned programming. One, AwesomenessTV, has been successful targeting the teenage demographic. DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg took the stage to announce that his company earlier on Wednesday reached a deal to acquire AwesomenessTV.

"Today's acquisition puts us in the middle of this new arena... We see an incredible array of opportunities." YouTube executives, meanwhile, urged brands -- and even sought the help of "kid president" -- to buy media on the site, sponsor programs, and build their own channels. And they argued there's a real business case for doing so, with a study showing that brands that invest about 10 percent to 15 percent of their media budget on YouTube post a 1 percent to 3 percent sales lift. The 100 largest brands in the world are actively spending money on YouTube, executives said. "We find ourselves in the middle of an incredible momentum," Robert Kyncl, global head of content for YouTube, said at the event Wednesday. "And we believe the momentum will continue. Why? There's an insatiable appetite for online video, and that appetite is our opportunity."Article courtesy of c/net
