A Pope blog?

Zenit reports that Agnes Lam, president of the Catholic Biblical Association of Hong Kong and a lay auditor at the Synod of Bishops, as suggested that the Holy Father should start a blog. (See: A blogging Benedict XVI)

This is an absolutely top hole idea. Let me just say that if the Holy Father needs an editor/dogsbody for his blog, I'm happy to oblige ;-)

Fr Z suggests that some of the Bishops were asking their neighbours "What's a blog?" You could imagine a Private Eye style dialogue:
Mr Justice Cocklecarrot: What is a blog?

Counsel for the prosecution (Messrs Sue Grabbit and Runne): A blog M'Lud, is a series of articles posted on the internet in reverse chronological order

Mr Justice Cocklecarrot: What is the internet?

Counsel for the prosecution: The internet M'Lud is like a series of tubes ... (etc ad nauseam)
The Curt Jester has a fun post up about this too: Blogger of the Universal Church. He has this picture and caption:

Oh, heck. I thought your blog WAS the pope's blog and he was just hiding behind you!!!!

:-D

He's 'hiding' behind at least 30 of us I reckon.

Great Father, first time I've laughed out loud this week, what with everything on another certain blog.

Thanks again for yours.

In Christo pro Papa

One thing though: Mr Justice Cocklecarrot was the creation of Beachcomber (J B Morton) not Private Eye. Credit where it's due and all that...

If you need an assistant/general dogsbody, then I would be most happy to oblige. I hope to move to "a quiet place near Rome" soon, so may already be in situ if you need me!
