Catholic Blogging: A Criminal Offense?

Fr. Tim Finigan discusses why some church officials want to make blogging a serious criminal offense.

When bloggers can access the text of documents from the Holy See and compare them to what is actually happening on the ground, it must be difficult if you are trying to gloss over the Church's teaching and discipline and carry on as normal.

He then offers some points each blogger should consider before posting:

Do I promote:

-Charity
-Prayer
-Solidarity
-Loyalty to the Church
-Good information on the faith
-Growth in the faith
-Evangelization

Do I fall into:

-Lack of charity
-Detraction
-Rash judgment
-Vulgarity
-Misuse of time

Worthy questions all.
