The Archbishop of Boston, Sean Cardinal O'Malley, has a weblog now. So reports the Boston Globe. After all the hoopla for two days (and the usual suspects getting their two cents worth in), he posted his first entry. One gets the distinct impression of his humility, which would have explained his reaction to getting "the red hat" (like he didn't know that was gonna happen when he took over Boston). Other than that...
Well, Your Eminence, maybe we should include you on the St Blog's roster, being a Cardinal and all that. But remember, starting one of these things is easy. The hard part is keeping it going. We don't need any more reprints of sermons around here, I can tell you that. But I can tell you what we could use, and that's somebody telling us just what the h@&& a bishop does all day. You're off to a decent start; just go with it. I guarantee an avid readership -- and, if you're not careful, an increase in sympathy for the mess you're stuck cleaning up after.
But most important, try not to make it look like someone else is writing it for you while you're off getting your picture taken.
We can tell.
We'll stay tuned; you stay in touch.
