The award for Palmo&#8217;s work on his blog Whispers in the Loggia is also an expression of how American Catholic leaders hope to encourage a younger generation to engage their faith through news.<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And a colleague says of him writing:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>Ann Rodgers, religion reporter for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, said that when Palmo started attending the annual meetings of the U.S.Conference of Catholic Bishops, an event traditional reporters have covered for years, &#8220;he was like a rock star. I had archbishops asking me to introduce them to Rocco.&#8221;<\/span>\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So, my congratulations on this honor and the honor it reflects on those that use new media.&nbsp; And my personal admiration for the effort at running a quality blog focused on one niche in religious reporting.&nbsp; Best wishes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I wish to add my own congratulations to the many already expressed to Mr. Rocco Palmo on the occasion of his receiving an honorary doctoral degree from Aquinas Institute of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101,73,102],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-431","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blogging","category-personal-note","category-roman-catholic"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 -
