the clerical sexual abuse crisis is accompanied by two new Vatican internet services.

of six channels on Twitter, each in a different language. The English channel is named:
news_va_en. The other languages are French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Italian.
And can be accessed by changing the final piece of the channel name to the proper
language abbreviation. That is: for FRENCH: _fr For GERMAN: _de FOR Spanish: _es

and other Vatican media outlets will inform users about the publication of news and
multimedia content of particular relevance to the life of the Church. Today there
will be published texts, video and audio referring to the Pope’s Letter to the Catholics
of Ireland Regarding the Clerical Sexual Abuse Crisis, using www.vaticanradio.org,
