Priests blogging! Cardinals on Facebook! Dogs and cats living together! No, it’s not the mass hysteria out of an 80s sci-fi movie: Pope Benedict XVI urged priests over the weekend to use as many tools as possible to communicate with people, which includes the Internet and—yes—blogging. The Pope, who has been a bit of an Internet cudmudgeon, acknowledged that “the larger digital world represents a great resource for humanity” and said priests should take advantage of the tool before they become outdated.

[JR: Bishop Fulton J. Sheen must be rolling over. The Church has failed to use the media to inspire the faithful and not so faithful. Worse they ceded the "playing field" to the Secular Progressives. Sigh, when will everyone take the new technologies seriously.]
