The Associated Press/bangordailynews.com, Maine convents use Internet to find new nuns, April 29, 2012 "Audra Turnbull, 23, turned to the Internet when she felt the calling in college. Inside the chapel at Quincy University in Quincy, Ill., she pulled out her laptop, Googled “nuns” and found a website called A Nun’s Life. In time, she checked out dozens of other websites, YouTube videos and social media before getting in touch with a motherhouse in Monroe, Mich., where she plans to join the ministry.
"Those tools are invaluable for “nunnabes” — wannabe nuns — like her, she said."

Catholic bloggers
Rachel Zoll, AP/Washington Post, Catholic bloggers aim to purge dissenters, 24 Oct 2010
"Pressure is on to change the Roman Catholic Church in America, but it's not coming from the usual liberal suspects. A new breed of theological conservatives has taken to blogs and YouTube to say the church isn't Catholic enough."

LA Times, Priest's "sermonettes" offer daily dose of spirituality through the iPhone
Mitchell Landsberg, LA Times, Priest's "sermonettes" offer daily dose of spirituality through the iPhone, 25 Apr 2010 "Manning, an author and television personality who has a show on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, said that his early sermonettes were built around a daily reading from Scripture but that future ones will talk about the sometimes uneasy intersection of religion and science.
"He is aware, he said, that his iPhone sermons are reaching people at a time when the image of the Catholic Church is suffering from its handling of sexual abuse cases. "Very, very much so," he said. "The pain of what's going on is very, very, very deep in my own soul and heart. And I'm filled with sadness and I'm filled with deep apologies for what people have done, for what people I know have done.""
