We could have fun, pretending to be two holier than thou, do gooding old ladies, and we could talk about whether or not to use biological washing powder for Father's socks, because they pong even more since he took up jogging.

And they speak very, very definitively about what it means to be Catholic, and they're followed by so many people." Robert Kumpel quotes Apostolicam Actuositatem n.10. One might also add the Code of Canon Law: Can. 211 All the Christian faithful have the duty and right to work so that the divine message of salvation more and more reaches all people in every age and in every land. Can. 212 �3. According to the knowledge, competence, and prestige which they possess, they have the right and even at times the duty to manifest to the sacred pastors their opinion on matters which pertain to the good of the Church and to make their opinion known to the rest of the Christian faithful, without prejudice to the integrity of faith and morals, with reverence toward their pastors, and attentive to common advantage and the dignity of persons. As to accountability, bloggers know that they are very quickly brought to account if they say something untrue or misleading, and their opinions can be speedily quoted, analysed, supported or refuted by others. I found the post,archbishop-bloggers-not-part-of-church and the links included, a very interesting read. I read quite a lot of Catholic blogs and find them generally informative and useful, most bloggers take the trouble to check the facts before posting. Some,perhaps inevitably, seem to get carried away by their own view of their importance, but most of them are knowledgeable and fair. KatyA

One in particular, a journalist, attacks, attacks, attacks, named bishops, presenting unsubstantiated claims as information received from sources. I wish some of the bishops would sue for defamation to teach that person a lesson. .
