Cardinal takes his message to cyberspace
Article Abstract:
Cardinal John O'Connor, Archbishop of New York City, used the Prodigy online information service to answer questions and converse with people nationwide. The project represents the first time that a Cardinal has been accessible online. O'Connor answered questions from 97 participants during a 40 minute session. Observers note that this type of forum usually draws more people, but this one took place at 4:00 PM, an awkward time. The Cardinal was able to choose among the questions posed to him, and the online service staff filtered redundant questions. O'Connor answered questions about abortion, the recent abortion clinic violence, AIDS and his personal life. The Cardinal also told the online participants that Congress must avoid cutting spending on social programs.
