Cardinal Boston will become a video podcast

Sean O'Malley, Cardinal of Boston (USA), became the first Catholic podcast priest.

Father Robert Reid, the developer of icatholic.com , which will host the video podcast, notes that O'Maley is the only one of 189 cardinals who will use the new technology to communicate with parishioners. His words are quoted by Reuters .

Cardinal O'Maley, who, by the way, has been blogging since September ( www.cardinalseansblog.org ), plans to release her first video message on Christmas Eve, congratulating users on the occasion in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

The Boston diocese has a positive attitude towards new technologies. In November, for example, a closed network was created to contact priests from Massachusetts.
