The bishops are blogging.

At the Synod of Bishops on the Word of God currently underway in Rome, that is.

Two of the five U.S. bishops in attendance at the synod — Cardinal Francis George of Chicago, Cardinal Daniel DiNardo of Galveston-Houston, Archbishop Donald Wuerl of Washington, D.C., Bishop Gerald Kicanas of Tucson and Archbishop Basil Schott of the Archeparchy of Pittsburgh for Byzantines — are blogging or writing commentaries.

Below is a list of links that can be monitored to stay informed about what’s happening in Rome (with a tip of the hat to Rocco Palmo’s “Whispers in the Loggia” blog entry for spotting several of the links):
