    The e-Courier references (from Catholic News Service) a tweet by Cardinal Malony:

    “Cardinal Roger M. Mahony (@CardinalMahony), retired archbishop of Los Angeles, just started tweeting in January. He had more than 260 followers by Feb. 15.

    When the pope resigned, he tweeted: “Am planning to be in Rome and vote for the next pope. Will be tweeting daily.”

    What does he think “confidential” means? Of course, on an earthly level, I guess he has “nothing to lose.”
