Thanks to a reader, here's a link to the Vatican City State's new Web site:
http://www.vaticanstate.va/EN/homepage.jsp
Yes, the Vatican was already online at www.vatican.va, but this new Web site functions less in the dissemination of Church pronouncements and more like a government Web site. I'm not sure I like the separation, because it emphasizes the role of the Church as a sovereign nation apart from her message. Now a tourist can visit a cultural site without ever being confronted with an opportunity to see what the Church teaches. I have nothing against the site itself, though -- it's well put together and very professional, and a handy resource as well.
