The Director of Catholic News Agency, Mr. Alejandro Bermudez, will be contributing to a New York Times blog covering of the papal visit of Pope Benedict XVI.
Bermudez joins several other experts at the blog, titled “A Papal Discussion.” The blog will provide analysis of events surrounding Pope Benedict’s visit to Washington, D.C. and New York City.
Laurie Goodstein, the national religion correspondent for the New York Times, said in an email that the blog’s focus will be on analysis of the papal events rather than reporting. Contributors’ blog articles, she said, will analyze the events of the visit from an intellectual, theological, and cultural perspective.
According to Bermudez, basic translation of the Pope’s actions and statements would be one facet of his commentary.
