So it’s Catholic Media Promotion Day. If you don’t know what it is, then you are quite simply not invited to the cool kid’s club, your hair is probably a mess, and you might as well give up any major commitments you’ve made in your life. It’s that awesome.
Catholic Blogger [kath-uh-lik blog·ger] – 1. One who quotes G.K. Chesterton at the beginning of his or her blog, then hopes no one notices that the rest of the post takes a long time restating what he already said in that one quote. 2. One who thinks he or she could give better homilies than their priests. 3. The inevitable result of a mild jealousy towards published Catholic authors. 4. A fire-breathing dragon known to inhabit the upper regions of Scandinavia. 5. A widely used synonym for ‘awesome’, ‘ridiculously good-looking’, ‘awe-inspiring’ and ‘the scourge of God upon the Internet’.

The Room of Shattered Glass – Sean doesn’t write NEARLY as often as I would like him to, but when he does it is reasoned, thoughtful, educated and more than worthwhile.
2.
The Devout Life – Mindy is a Saint. And frankly, when the day of judgement comes, you blog-followers will be held accountable for not following the blog of a saint. Her writing is holy, simply put. Which does not mean that she can’t be

Least Favorite Catholic Blogs!!!!!!

I’m not personally in the habit of chronicling my kinky adventures, but I imagine it would take some of, well some of the kinkiness out of it. “How would you describe that position, darling?” “Well goodness, that’s not easy, it might require a metaphor…” “Right, let’s take a break and think on it.”
3 Other Catholic Media! (grammar? who cares!)
Catholic music! Actually there’s some general Christian stuff mixed in, but this, particular Audrey Assad,
is where it’s at; full of honest, searching faith. Speaking of Audrey, I’ve been trying to get a hold of her – I think she could write a killer guest post. None of this Casting Crowns balogney here. That does count as media, right? There’s also movies, but you don’t
need me to tell you those.
Three Random Catholic Things Online!
But seriously:
1.
Phatmass. The best discussions on the entire Internet happen here, a website/forum for socially isolated, weird, hip-hop loving Catholics.
2.
Catholic Online – just fantastic. Great journalism, great content: and a website design from heaven itself. If you run a Catholic website, aim for kind of awesomeness.3. Chesterton.org – brand new website, same great writer, these people will save the world. Have some.
