Catholic Bishops Who Blog, Tweet, and use Facebook

I tried to track down all of the Bishops, in the USA, who blog, tweet, and use Facebook. This list does not include diocesan staff-run efforts, but only those that are done primarily or solely by the Bishops themselves.

Archbishop Fulton Sheen would be proud of these men.

Also, almost every bishop has a column for their diocesan newspaper and most dioceses have staff that use Facebook and/or Twitter. Some have podcasts and video as well. Glad to see a number of bishops and dioceses using new media. But, we need more and we need better design and content. Some of the diocesan websites are atrocious and some don't use social media at all.

If you know of any others, please leave a link in the comments.
