Cardinal Blogging

Robert Accettura wrote in about this story about a Boston Cardinal starting a Vatican blog. Here’s the blog. As a Catholic, I find this trend toward transparency pretty fascinating. How long before the Pope has a blog? ¶

I doubt that if the Pope had a blog that it would increase transparency. Would he even be the one to write it?

Not long, I think. I’m not sure if Pope Benedict will get there, but I think the whole idea of blogging is finding a lot of new uses, including in the Church.

It’s interesting to see who uses WordPress now.

Strikes me as a bit odd though, if it’s a Vatican blog, why the url doesn’t use the .va as the TLD.

I predict a couple of months. I can see it now, Ratz using tKubrick with the title “PopeBlog” with the tagline “My blog is holier than your blog!”

I blogged about it since September 23rd but it seems nobody is reading my blog !!!
Oh well, on the subject now, church, seems to have caught with the (not so) new wordpress blogging madness.
So whats next ?
Online confession ?
Isnt that what a personal blog is all about ?
