Welcome to the Blogosphere, Bishop Edward Kmiec!

On the left, Bishop Edward Kmiec, Diocese of Buffalo and on the right,
Archbishop Timothy Dolan of New York.

There is a new blogger on the block and he is Bishop Edward Kmiec, shepherd of the Diocese of Buffalo. His first entry is as follows:

Hello friends, and welcome to my blog page!

I think it is very important for the Catholic Church to be present on the Internet, and this is one more way that I can communicate with members of the Diocese of Buffalo and other followers of the Church, as well as those who are interested in our mission of building the Kingdom of God here in Western New York.

Take some time to look around our entire Web site - we've spent the last several months updating the site, adding this blog function, podcasting and making it a lot easier to access diocesan offices and organizations. We'll soon launch new sites for Youth & Young Adult Ministry, Daybreak TV Productions and the Western New York Catholic.

I'm interested in what you have to say, so feel free to respond to my blog entries or send an e-mail, I'd like to hear from you.

Yours in Christ,

Bishop Kmiec

I look forward to future posts and getting to know our Bishop a bit better. That he asks for feedback is indeed a wonderful blessing - and - I hope he knows what he's getting into ;) . On the right side of +Catholic Ponderings+, you will see that I include a listing of blogs. They are listed with the most recent entries published at the top. I now include the blog of Bishop Kmiec. I do not recommend other blogs lightly, as there are thousands of Catholic blogs to sift through. Please note that Archbishop Timothy Dolan of the Archdiocese of New York also has a new blog. You may read my review of Archbishop Dolan's most recent book HERE.
