The bishops, attending a synod at the Vatican since October 5, called for increased distribution of the Bible "in the largest variety of our planet’s languages". <\/p>\n
They said in a message to believers that the printed text is no longer sufficient at a time when communication has been transformed by technology. <\/p>\n
"The voice of the divine word must also resonate over the radio, internet channels with virtual online distribution, CDs, DVDs, iPod …," it said. <\/p>\n
It went on to add to the list "television and cinema screens, in the press, at cultural and social events". <\/p>\n
The synod on the theme of the "Word of God in the Life and Mission of the Church" ends on Saturday.<\/p>\n
