There is something 'unusual' about the relationship most church organisations have with the electronic media.
Today Irish Dominican HQ email members IDI, which is a bulletin that appears sporadically from the Order's HQ in Rome.
What Irish Dominican in mid-November would consider the priestly ordination of a Dominican in the Central African Republic in September an item of current news? And that's exactly the style of the 'current' IDI. And remember this information has been on the Order's web page for weeks at this stage.
Or again this piece of news will really have you sitting at the edge of your seat. It's not too clear when the 'today' is or was.
"Ninety-five years ago today, the Feast of the Holy Guardian Angels, fourteen intrepid began the journey to establish a new monastery in the hills of the city of Summit."
Really, is that the best IDI and Irish Dominican HQ can do?
It's worth checking out the Irish Jesuit website. An example of how to use the web.
