Taro Aso, Prime Minister of Japan gives a video camera to the pope

The Prime Minister of Japan, Taro Aso, has become the head of state that has given the pope the most original gift: a video camera of the latest technology.

Taro Aso, who is Catholic, surely appreciated the pen that the pope gave him.

During his visit to the Vatican, he exchanged views with the pope about the economic crisis and aid to Africa.

Although only 1% of Japanese people are Catholics, the Vatican and the Land of the Rising Sun keep stable diplomatic relations since 1952, which had been interrupted during World War II.

Nice Gift. May be Pope Benedict can use it for YT.

And some online discussions.

Regards.

@joeb0

7 prime minsters of Japan are Catholic. Christianity is a growing religion in Japan.

Rev 17:17 for God did give into their hearts to do its mind, and to make one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast till the sayings of God may be complete,

Rev 17:18 and the woman that thou didst see is the great city that is having reign over the kings of the land.'

Offcourse he is a catholic well I hope we don't see more Chinese Catholics becoming protestants! After all if Benedict dies and we have a pope from Japan just in case they might be a high percentage of Chinese Catholics becoming protestants aftrer all the saint of my confirmation is Japanese.

Yes he is :) Very happy. I hope and pray that Catholicism and Christianity in general will spread in the land of the rising sun :) Maybe the Pearl of the Orient can help? :)
