My thought: brief texts yes. plentiful images no. I'd like to read more Benedict in bite-size pieces. I don't need it cluttered up with pretty pictures.

SDG, why not illuminations to go along with the Biblical commentary? That would be a very appropriate touch.

"The pope’s blog should include simple reflections that relate Scripture to real-life situations..."

That kinda sounds like a homily...everyone could just subscribe to ZENIT...

And the pope is very, very busy...a daily blog, no matter how short, is a bit much on top of everything else.

Sweet Guinea Pig of Winnipeg, can you imagine the length of his posts? My RSS reader would explode!

Cool, the Apostolic Blog. The blog to which all other blogs must look to ensure they are orthodox. :)

I can see this exchange taking place;

Lam: "Your holiness, we asked for BRIEF texts."

Pope: "That WAS brief!"

Why not just read his audiences and speeches at vatican.va?

More of a suggestion than a question, really.

"I don't need it cluttered up with pretty pictures."

But I can't read without pictures.
