Last but not least: What advertising on Vatican Radio?
Vatican Radio is facing financial difficulties. As a result, the Vatican City State’s official broadcaster must now open up to advertising.
The Roman Catholic Church's radio station, Radio Vatican, must open up to advertising in order to get out of the red. This was announced on Tuesday by Vatican press spokesman Father Federico Lombardi. The first customer will be the Italian electricity company Enel. From July 8 to the end of September, the company will broadcast spots in five languages. "We are proud to be the first company to advertise on Radio Vatican, one of the best-known radio stations in the world," said Enel's president Piero Gnudi.
However, following the publication of the expert report on the abuse of children in Catholic-run homes and institutions in Ireland, one would rather wish the radio had different advertising content. It would be better if Vatican Radio reserved a few minutes of advertising every day to draw attention to contact points for notorious pedophile clergy.
