Bloggers head for Rome!¬


I was quite disappointed when I read the detail! Catholic bloggers will converge on the Vatican for landmark talks next month. The conference will be held on 2 May, the day after Pope John Paul II’s beatification, as it is assumed many of the bloggers will already be in Rome and won’t have to make a special trip. Dr Richard Rouse of the Pontifical Council for Culture said culture today was strongly formed and shaped in the blogosphere. ‘Bloggers have an enormous influence,’ he told Vatican Radio. But the meeting would not propose rules. ‘It’s not a meeting in which we’re going to tell people how to blog properly,’ said Dr Rouse. ‘It’s just a very simple encounter, a first step along a road of dialogue.’
