Execs from Facebook, YouTube and Wikipedia have convened at a four-day conference in the Vatican to give advice on how the Catholic church can convey its message in the digital era. The execs will also offer advice on internet copyright and hacking.

The Council of the Bishops' Conferences of Europe, which organised the event, says engaging with new media is crucial if the church is to remain relevant in people's lives.
