    Thanks, Terry. Your indulgences are in the mail!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688990364338525470 Nod

    Terry, I will if you will. How about I vote for Larry (Hifreakinlarious), you (Best Visual Treat) and you vote for Wynken, Blynken, and Nod (Potpourri) and Shoved to Them (Underappreciated)?Whaddaya say?

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/13093937327145346752 nazareth priest

    I'm shocked I even got nominated on this "prestigious" blog…I'm not kidding.That's enough for me.I post when God inspires…otherwise I just cause havoc in the commboxes in other people's blogs:<)!Oh, I love to do that…just ask CofA…she's given me the "irritable but spiritual" award:<)!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/13093937327145346752 nazareth priest

    AND…not to influence any voters here, but I have actually gotten "deleted" at a very popular blog for my "irritable/spiritual" comments…My impulsive nature and "big-mouth" lack of "nuance" gets me in trouble at times.I'm part Irish, what can I say?

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/15204262882202051257 Vincenzo

    Drats. I've never once been nominated. That's sad lol!

    Mad Catholic–CONGRATS on your upcoming commission in the Royal Navy!! I've had the extreme pleasure of working on several occasions with the Royal Air Force, and not a finer bunch of gentlemen to find in this entire world… they even showed me how to drink darts and throw Guiness……errr… :) The maintenance guys weren't real impressed with Prince Harry…although security-wise I'm sure the royals are a pain to be around..Good luck!!Sara

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731 Adoro

    So…I see I've been nominated as "Best Armchair Theologian", thanks to all who have voted for me!But..um….will I be disqualified if I admit that, actually, in fact, I don't even..um…HAVE an armchair?Because I don't have an armchair. I only have a computer desk (with a kitchen chair), a couch, and a rocker. But not an armchair.I hope this technicality won't be a problem.

    Cage match you say? I say it is more like the heavyweight championship of the world and Rocky should win….get out and vote!And should you have trouble deciding, go with that priest at Blessed Is The Kingdom.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/18300768025577786157 Raulito

    One of these days, I shall have to make my blog open to the public again, just so that I might be put into the category, 'Most Bat Shit Crazy'. What an awesome category!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/13093937327145346752 nazareth priest

    Raulito: If I actually posted all the bat-shit-crazy things that go on around here and that I actually think…you'd all be putting me into a "rehab center" or the "Fourth Floor'(read psychiatric wing) of the local hospital…I'm not kidding. Life without Jesus and His Church sucks…totally…even with Jesus and His Church, it sucks…but somehow we are purified and made holy.I don't get it; but God does…He's the only Who counts here, I guess!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/16917803593444075354 berenike

    Fr Hunwicke is not a Catholic priest – you could at most put him in "best blog by a heretic" :)

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/07511506296459517887 Thales

    o.k., I figure if I'm gonna vote, I oughta know something about the contenders (and yes, I am also this anal in November). I was delighted that you seemed to have links to them all, but can't find a link to Fr. Acervo's Corner. Can you help me out, Kat?

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/02431495483736996164 RMT

    I like the best blog by a heretic category–I just don't want to cause a spike in their stats by visiting them to check out which is the best.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/09819523933502820341 Terry Nelson

    I voted once and that's it – this is as bad as fr. Z's polls – totally unscientific. I think fr. R is selling indulgences to get people to vote as often as they can for him. I'm disgusted.No I'm not. But I do feel sorry about fr. Z being banned – there are other famous bloggers nominated better than him – why do they get in? I'm kidding.No I'm not.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/10503510474554718305 Just another mad Catholic

    Nazareth priestbat-crazy things happen where you are? I thought that all religious (apart from from the earth nutty kind) had their sense of humour surgically removed prior to pepetual profession of vows.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/08934165699497897957 Kim Luisi

    Vote for me! Vote for me! Vote for me! I mean, where else will you find the Yanks Phil Hughes and a Papal Encyclical in one post…and have it all make sense?http://www.faithfictionandflannery.com/2010/05/phil-hughes-glove-and-meaning-of-work.htmlThen when you're done voting for me, vote for Deacon Scott Dodge, cuz his blog is good and he's my friend. Plus I'll pay you.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/14269462014526091464 Carlos Echevarria

    With all due respect, how does one even get mentioned in the above categories?My Papal blog is vastly superior to the bulk of those mentioned above…and I am a ferocious defender of the Bishop of Rome.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/15262778035877473976 3puddytats

    Nazareth Priest–during our last Carmelite retreat we asked our retreat master–a good Carmelite friar– what it was like living in the monastery…He thought for a second and with his wonderful sense of humor said it was more like a frat house than anything….methinks Animal House comes to mind…And he said everyone squabbles over washing dishes and cleaning the bathroom :) My vision of calm kindly Friars in Friar Tuck habits praying and being sickingly kind toward one another was destroyed for life.. :) Sara

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/13093937327145346752 nazareth priest

    Sara: You don't know the half of it:<)!But we love one another and just try to "be good".Like any other family.And Just a mad Catholic: if the "sense of humor" thing gets removed prior to entering, he is "removed" from here.St. Therese, as well as St. Teresa of Avila had wonderful senses of humor…good grief, if one didn't have this, you would go BSCrazy…in a day or two:<)!

    Defamation, Libel, and Slander are against the rules of "Blogger" I have lodged a complaint under that category. You will be eating your own words. You are a liar. I'm calling you on it.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/06117353945124506952 The Crescat

    I'm sorry "Mom" but nominations for Most Bat Shit Crazy are closed.

    "I'm sorry "Mom" but nominations for Most Bat Shit Crazy are closed."That's the funniest thing I have ever read!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/01688990364338525470 Nod

    Just thought I'd mention that those strange comments by "Mom" are NOT from our beloved "aka the Mom" of Shoved To Them fame.The "Mom" account is clearly a spam account. Vote for the REAL "aka the Mom" for Best Under Appreciated!!

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/09744212862956880795 aka the Mom

    I would like to publicly state that I am not this crazy "Mom" person. I would like to take this moment to thank Nod for defensing my sacred honor. As a thank you, you should vote for him in Best Potpourri of Popery, and you should vote for me "SHoved to Them" in Best Underappreciated because this crazy person makes me angry by using y name like that. If I were a conspiracy theorist, I might think that someone (Crescat) sees me swiftly catching up in the polls and this is a clever smear campaign. But I'm not that kind of person, so I won't say that about her….yet.

    Holy cow, I am just now reading the comments and "Mom's" reaction. Sad that her Blogger profile is private, as I would have loved to do a post on her.Oh, and vote for The Digital Hairshirt as "Most Bat Shit Crazy." Terry, I would never stoop to selling indulgences. But if you have anyone, you know, you want "gone" . . . let me know, 'kay?

    I can't believe Fr. Jake is in last place in the heresy department. I know of no blog that is more heretical while purporting to be Christian.

  • http://www.blogger.com/profile/09819523933502820341 Terry Nelson

    I just want to thank everyone who voted for Larry. I'm proud of the Catholic bloggers who support special needs people like this guy. He puts on such a brave front.
