Sean O'Malley, Cardinal of Boston (USA), became the first Catholic podster priest.
Father Robert Reed, developer of the
icatholic.com website, which will host a video podcast, notes that O'Maily is the only one of 189 cardinals who will use the new technology to communicate with the parishioners. His words are quoted by
Reuters .
Cardinal O'Malley, who, by the way, has already
started his blog (
www.cardinalseansblog.org ) since September, plans to release the first video message on Christmas Eve, congratulating users on the holiday in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

The Boston Diocese is characterized by a positive attitude towards new technologies. In November, for example, a closed network was created to communicate with priests from Massachusetts.
