I don't seem to have the time to read many blogs. In my previous post I mentioned my distain for blogs my most clergy-types. Two blogs I occasionally dip into and enjoy are written by Catholic bishops.
Cardinal Sean O'Malley is the archbishop of Boston. He has blogged about his daily trips, school visits, sermons, and ministry in Boston and elsewhere since he was appointed back in 2002. He likes to post a lot of photographs, and he and his brown friar's robe seems to be in just about every one of them! But his genial and pastoral spirit shines through, as does his Franciscan and humble spirituality. You can find this at www.cardinalseansblog.org .
Bishop Robert Lynch is the bishop of St. Petersburg in Florida. He was a "late vocation," only being ordained to the priesthood after years of work in communications. He even worked in the offices of the U.S. Catholic bishop's conference as a layman. I enjoy his blog for its down to earth spirit. He really comes across as a pastor.
In particular if you are interested in another take on the recent pronouncement of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith regarding its examination into the workings of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious in the United States, read the blog he posted today (4/24/2012). It gives some perspective on a very difficult issue.
For more fun read his post on Easter Monday musings (4/9/2012), and what he learned "on the throne." You can find his blog at www.bishopsblog.dosp.org .
