Pop Culture Pope
Katie Couric has one so does President Obama and now Pope Benedict joins the world of homemade video with his own YouTube channel. Let the wackiness commence.
Walmart and french fries are not the only things to supersize in the last decade. Churches have gone mega, Christian businesses are booming and crashing, you can track the number of souls you have saved on your iPhone, and celebrity pastors regularly hold court on the New York Times bestseller list. Sacred or secular, do these labels have any postmodern significance? Is there a genuine cultural distinction or is it a case branding with different logos?
