The rank-and-file pewsitters that make up much of the mere 16% of Boston Catholics who still make it to Mass on Sundays (source) are finally taking up their own weapons in the battle to save their sinking ship. They are getting their concerns to archdiocesan authorities via the blogosphere about what they view as out-of-control dissent and moral/fiscal corruption, according to the Boston Globe. We can imagine that when all other forms of personal communication fail, the internet is one avenue to get one’s message out. Last week, archdiocesan authorities gave clear indication they have read the material on such sites as they blocked access to one of the websites from computers within its headquarters.....
News stories out the the archdiocese just from this past year alone have made many around the country wonder when such reaction against dissent and corruption would hit...
It is unclear weather blogs from Boston Catholic dissidents have been banned from the network at Archdiocesan headquarters...
We are late to the party.
Better late than never.
