Since 2001, when information about the Internet first appeared in the messages and when two special Vatican texts on the Internet (Pontifical Council for Social Communications 2002) were published, the Pope’s approach to addressing has also changed. It is still about ‘WE’ and the imperative:
Encounters with religious authority are most often based on ‘following’ everyday communication on social media. Pope Francis on Instagram gives his followers an opportunity to follow his opinions and thoughts. Through apps, the religious community is connected to the activities and opinions of its leader.
Furthermore, the language in the messages for World Communications Day is closely related to the goals of the individual popes and their direction. 2. The message delivery system is changing. Technological advances have undoubtedly had an impact on the way the messages of the popes are communicated.
Around 2020, Pope Francis seems to have embarked openly on a communication of crisis. But that is a subject for further research. In any case, we offer here the possibility that the first sign of crisis communication of the papal See is encrypted in the hidden life of pronouns, to paraphrase the title of Professor Pennebaker’s book. 4. Conclusions
Since 2008, when all-to-all communication on social media has started to be applied on a large scale, there is a clear turn in the texts of papal messages.
In the word cloud for Pope Benedict XVI, the pronouns ‘WE’, ‘OUR’ and ‘THEIR’ meet around the central ‘communication’ and the receding but still central ‘media’. Not only does the word ‘media’ recede from the very centre, but ‘THEY’ recedes to a second level. In its place, ‘WE’ and ‘OUR’ are now among the six most used words, and ‘THEIR’ remains.
The global residential solar storage and inverter market is experiencing rapid expansion, with demand increasing by over 300% in the past three years. Home energy storage solutions now account for approximately 35% of all new residential solar installations worldwide. North America leads with 38% market share, driven by homeowner energy independence goals and federal tax credits that reduce total system costs by 26-30%. Europe follows with 32% market share, where standardized home storage designs have cut installation timelines by 55% compared to custom solutions. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 45% CAGR, with manufacturing innovations reducing system prices by 18% annually. Emerging markets are adopting residential storage for backup power and energy cost reduction, with typical payback periods of 4-7 years. Modern home installations now feature integrated systems with 10-30kWh capacity at costs below $700/kWh for complete residential energy solutions.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving home solar storage and inverter performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal performance with 40% less energy loss, extending battery lifespan to 15+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $1,200/kW to $650/kW since 2022. Smart integration features now allow home systems to operate as virtual power plants, increasing homeowner savings by 35% through time-of-use optimization and grid services. Safety innovations including multi-stage protection and thermal management systems have reduced insurance premiums by 25% for solar storage installations. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple battery additions at just $600/kWh for incremental storage. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with residential projects typically achieving payback in 5-8 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard home systems (5-10kWh) starting at $8,000 and premium systems (15-20kWh) from $12,000, with financing options available for homeowners.
