I spent a little time today cleaning up the Catablogue – basically deleting the inactive ones, or those that have gone “private” – and I thought, “hey – perhaps there are other Catholic blogs out there I could add to the Catablogue!”
But which ones?
I’d like your suggestions and recommendations – include your own, if you have one. Leave them in the combox. Bear in mind that a recommendation doesn’t categorically guarantee admission, but I do promise to check them out and perhaps add them to my reader for a trial basis.
And if I don’t choose your blog or your suggestion, please – not making it onto the Catablogue wouldn’t be a cataclysmic catastrophe, so no caterwauling allowed. It’s not that I have high standards or anything – after all, I do have Creative Minority Report and Abbey Roads on there – it’s just that I’m thinking of adding a half dozen new ones.
I’m looking forward to your recommendations!
You should read mine.
It would seem that my spam filter is malfunctioning…
simchafisher.wordpress.com — Simcha is the Erma Bombeck of Generation X!
linenonthehedgerow.blogspot.com — RIchard Collins was one of my first followers, and has some interesting things to say about the Catholic Church in England. Writes on the traditionalist side but isn’t a rad-trad.
stevegershom.com — A man with SSA chastely living the Faith with a pleasant, quirky sense of humor.
patheos.com/blogs/thecrescat — Perhaps an acquired taste, but I think you’d like Kat Fernandez.
acceptingabundance.com — Stacy Trasancos. PhD in chemistry, former atheist turned Catholic, wife and mother of five, now going for a master’s in theology. She’s the person I want to be when I grow up.
patheos.com/blogs/yimcatholic — Frank Weathers combines deep reading, wise insight and no-nonsense language, and has really built well on Webster Bull’s foundation.
Then there’s this other guy I know who has the chutzpah to try to maintain two blogs (but doesn’t update nearly enough since he started working): tonylayne.blogspot.com and impracticalcatholic.blogspot.com.
I wonder if you could link to my blog? Every day – or at least include a link in every post? That would help so much. Thank you dear friend.
Dr, Jay Boyd is a frequent contributor to Homiletic and Pastoral Review. A very neat gal.

mine? I haven’t posted in sometime, for things have just been to hectic lately for me to devote time to making a quality post. I’m working on one now, actually!
I’m shocked, simply shocked, that you don’t yet have mine listed!

hi kat. in reference to another blog on dating beaten down men and rad/fems. i too am a faithful catholic, and i love your candour, wit, love of puns and vulgar language. but i was a bit dismayed by your seeming resignation towards the iffy dating scene. it’s obvious you have a vocation to marriage, and god wants you to meet a man that is right for you. but you have to ask. he wants you to be happily married. all you need do kat is to pray, ask god deeply and sincerely, to put that great guy in your path where you’ll stumble over him. trust and pray kat. god speed. p.s. i read where you mentioned the vast but hidden intellectual treasures of the church, my sentiments exactly. the world needs to know about them.
mundabor.wordpress.com is always interesting
Since you have already listed my two sites, I would suggest an extremely satirically funny site called eyeofthetiber.com.
My blog is called “On Pilgrimage,” subtitled “pausing to look at all the sights on our way to Jerusalem.” http://www.pilgrimage.subcreators.com
The blog is orthodox (not traditionalist), faithful to the Magisterium, inclined toward discussion of literature, film and culture in general (not so much politics for those who would like a break from them) and totally pro-life. Do check it out!
I find these author’s writing with Heart and Mind of Our Lord. Their fare is Food for Hungary Souls satisfying a palate yearning for truth.
Fr. Gordon McCrae, Fr. Schall, Tom O’Reilly, Michael O’Brien, George Weigel

LarryD,
Caught typo for Fr. MacRae on TheseStoneWalls and found this additional plug.
In 2006, Cardinal Dulles asked Father MacRae to contribute “a new chapter to the volume of Christian literature from believers who were unjustly imprisoned.” The result is These Stone Walls described by author Father James Valladares in Hope Springs Eternal in the Priestly Breast as “The finest example of priestly witness the last decade of scandal has produced.” These Stone Walls was selected by readers of Our Sunday Visitor as “2010 Readers’ Choice for the Best of the Catholic Web.”
Thanks for your wonderful unique contribution to the volume of Christian literature as well.
Your blog is one of my favorite Catholic blogs and happens to be the first one I stumbled upon a few years ago. Since then, I’ve started reading many more on a regular basis. One of my other favorites that does not appear on your roll call is The Reverend Know-It-All, found at http://www.rev-know-it-all.com. He’s a priest in the Chicago area with a radio show on Relevant Radio, and an awesome website that, with biting humor, addresses issues the Church and society face these days. I’ve learned so much from him!
Thanks for all your recommendations! I’ll be adding them to my reader (those that I’m not reading already) and then add the worthy ones to my Catablogue.
And by worthy, I mean better than mine. Which might include a lot…
