The Catholic church is generally seen as being behind the curve when it comes to new media and technology.

There has been some resistance to technology in Catholic churches “because it distances you from the personal experience of the liturgy,” said the Rev. John F. Baldovin, a specialist on Catholic liturgy.

    Well, Ken, podcasting is better than drinking beer.
    The Catholic Cardinal should have known that.

    Compliments of the season to you and Cardinal Sean O’Malley and your families.

    Cheers and God bless.
