Somthing to Think About - Blogging...

After receiving a bit of criticism (whether deserved or not) over giving Communion to two men who were dressed as sisters, Archbishop Niederauer (of the Archdiocese of San Francisco) had this to say about the impact of blogs:

"The blogsophere is a kind of dangerous, endless recess in a global schoolyard, where the bullies with the biggest bullhorns can shout whatever they want." (seen in this week's St. Louis Review)

This statement can often hold truth, as the blogosphere is full of reactionaries and people who's mission it is to exaggerate in order to create interest in their own blogs. And the most popular bloggers are often those who are most reactionary. I try (often without success) to make sure all my posts are well-reasoned and well-sourced, but not all bloggers are like me. So be sure to always take bloggers' writings with a grain of salt (just as you would an article in any major newspaper, such as the New York Times, or the St. Louis Post-Dispatch—everyone has a slant; there is no such thing as unbiased journalism.
