AP Video on Texting Fast

Friday, March 06, 2009 1:54 PM Comments (0)

This Associated Press video pretty much tells a Catholic story straight-up, which is refreshing. No dark insinuations of hidden motives, no strange irrelevant context, as we so often find in stories about the Vatican even in coverage of benign topics.

Maybe it’s because of who they talked to: I have no idea who the Croation priest is, but you’ve got to love Father John Wauk and L’Osservatore Romano editor Giovanni Maria Vian’s sensible quotes.
