Boston’s Cardinal Sean O’Malley, who already has his own blog, is helping bring the Roman Catholic church deeper into the 21st century by offering downloadable Christmas video messages in three languages.

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.
