"Fallible Blogma"

“There was consistent agreement [among brother bishops] that one aspect that is most alarming to us about media is when it becomes unchristian and hurtful to individuals. For example, we are particularly concerned about blogs that engage in attacks and hurtful, judgmental language. We are very troubled by blogs and other elements of media that assume the role of Magisterium and judge others in the Church. Such actions shatter the communion of the Church that we hold so precious.”

I wonder if the bishop means something like this: http://reform-network.net/?p=2637

And it brings this to mind:

Just because someone has a keyboard, a website, a screen or a personal blog does not make them a theologian, a canonist, a Church historian or a liturgist. It is easy to look upon them like the Pharisee did to the publican. Instead of quickly jumping in to tell them how they are wrong, first say a prayer for them and then gently lead them to a fuller understanding of the truth.
