Damian Thompsons blog ‘Holy Smoke<\/a>‘ er en sv\u00e6rt kritisk stemme i debatten i Den katolske kirke i England. S\u00e5 skarp at han mener at biskopene gjerne ville ‘kneble’ ham om de kunne. Da det ble arrangert et bloggerm\u00f8te i London for en ukes tid siden, sammenlignet han<\/a> de som m\u00f8ttes med dissidenter som m\u00f8ttes i Sovjetunionen f\u00f8r jernteppet falt, for \u00e5 dele undergrunnslitteratur. Han er som sagt sv\u00e6rt s\u00e5 skarp (men jeg leser ham fra tid til annen), og han reiser en interessant debatt om hvor vigtig bloggerne er. (Selv leser jeg i alle fall Father Z<\/a> og NLM<\/a> sv\u00e6rt s\u00e5 ofte.)<\/p>\n A few nights ago I joined a group of Catholic bloggers in a pub in Victoria. They included the world-famous Fr Z from America, Fr Tim Finigan and Mac McLernon («Mulier Fortis»). We felt like a group of East European dissidents swapping samizdat literature in the 1970s. But let’s move on to the wider issue of Pope Benedict’s programme of renewal for the Catholic Church. It is partly thanks to priest-bloggers such as Fathers Zuhlsdorf and Finigan that orthodox Catholics know the chapter and verse of Summorum Pontificum. …<\/p>\n Some blogs are more serious than others. The New Liturgical Movement, for example, is positively magisterial in its coverage of conservative reform. This is where you find small items of news that liberal bishops’ conferences would rather not see get out, such as yesterday’s announcement that Pope Benedict has appointed enthusiasts for the Old Rite as his personal liturgical advisers, clearing away the last remnants of the Piero Marini regime. <\/font><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Damian Thompsons blog ‘Holy Smoke‘ er en sv\u00e6rt kritisk stemme i debatten i Den katolske kirke i England.

\nThere are liberal Catholic bloggers out there, but it is persecuted traditionalists who have seized control of cyberspace in the English-speaking world, with disastrous results for the secretive Futurechurch project.
\nEvery vindictive move against the traditional liturgy is reported. Every slip is exploited. And, worst of all, conservative Vatican rulings can no longer be concealed from the faithful. No wonder the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales discussed controlling blogs at its last meeting. …<\/p>\n
