CATHOLIC VOICES MEDIA MONITOR: The Scottish monsignor who drafts the Pope's speeches

Or at least, he coordinates the drafts from the English-language desk of the Secretariat of State. Introducing Mgr Leo Cushley (photo), profiled in the Scotsman.

Welcome to the Catholic Voices Media Monitor

This blog was created by the Catholic Voices project to record media coverage on the Church and related issues in the lead-up to the 16-19 September 2010 state visit by Pope Benedict XVI to the UK, as well as the visit itself and its aftermath.

It links to the good, the bad, the accurate and the inaccurate -- monitoring the journalism surrounding the visit. It also records what the Catholic Voices speakers' team, created to put the Church's case during the papal visit, has been saying in TV and radio studios, and in articles and other media.

Comments have been disabled, but feel free to email info@catholicvoices.org.uk with comments/suggestions.

For more details on the Catholic Voices project, recent TV and radio interviews, and how to book a speaker, see the Catholic Voices website, www.catholicvoices.org.uk.
