Rome correspondent for ucanews.com C.M. Paul is one of four Asians who attended a groundbreaking meeting of Catholic bloggers called by the Vatican yesterday. The meeting was called by Pontifical Council for Social Communications as a forum for discussion between bloggers and Church representatives. The president of the PCCS, Archbishop Claudio Maria Celli, said the main point of the meet was for those attending to get to know one another. "It is not a meeting of the Catholic bloggers and new media practitioners," he said. "But is an occasion, as Pope Benedict XVI said, to start a 'respectful dialogue of other people’s truths'. "We are here to promote faith and dialogue with all cultures. That is why two Pontifical Councils of Culture & Communication came forward to organize this meeting." Beside C.M. Paul, the Asians at the meeting were Sri Lankan Father David Ratnarajh, who blogs in Tamil while doing master's in spirituality at Angelicum Rome, Indonesian Father Alfonsus Widhiwryawan, studying for a master's in spirituality from Gregroianum Rome who has his bi-lingual blog in Italian and English and Father Louie Rivera Coronel from Manila pursuing a master's in Church History at the Gregorianum University Rome. C.M. Paul, who at the Salesian University Rome pursuing a PhD programme in the Social Communications faculty, maintains his blog, NewsGrab, here, which contains a detailed account of the Vatican blogging meet.
