I too applaud the Pope for doing this. So much so that I too blogged about it here: Web Savvy Pope = Web Savvy Church http://gbrenna.com/Eiq2 The important part for me is that last quote you used. That no matter how web-savvy priests become... that they should always be judged based on their priestly heart and not how good they are at blogging. We need to remember that as church workers our number one priority, no matter what our job title, is to bring people closer to Christ. I think this is a major deal!

Yes... they can be very surface level at times. I know that I can be super surface level a lot of the time. But reading Christian blogs and blogging about Christianity myself has helped me to become a more critical thinker. Some of the surface level topics on our blogs do help to fuel a curiosity inside of me that makes me want to dig deeper. If the blogs I read didn't make me think more deeply about the subject, I wouldn't read them. Interesting. Yes… they can be very surface level at times.

Specifically because one of my good friends who is now catholic (converted Protestant) is very opposed to blogging, especially Christian blogs. He has had several conversations with me about how surface level they can be. I wonder if this will change his mind. Very interesting, I don't know how I react to this.

It was a Catholic Priest (Father Roderick?) in the netherlands that I primarily listened to. He was a priest for 3 different parishes, worked part time for the dioasies and when I was regularly listening to him was doing 10 or so podcasts a week. I was struck at the time how explicitly (and consciously) evangelical he was. Most of the time he was trying to find Christian elements in popular culture (Harry Potter, movies, etc.) but occationally he would post a talk. He had one talk to other catholic priests that was one of the best defenses of using technology to interact with non-christians and do evangelism that I have ever heard by anyone.
