I\u2019m a blogger who happens to be Catholic.\u00a0 There are a zillion Catholic bloggers in the world, and I figure we don\u2019t need another one.\u00a0 Rather, this is\u00a0just a place where I can write a few ideas, sort things out, and more or less toss out a bone or two and see if anyone picks it up.\u00a0 I am not a Catholic apologist, though I will comment on Catholic beliefs.\u00a0 As a Protestant Minister, I didn\u2019t reckon myself as an apologist, or a theologian.\u00a0 I was too pastoral for that.\u00a0 All theology is pastoral, they said.\u00a0 And when I do think of theology, I tend to see how it actually works in the nuts and bolts of daily living.<\/p>\n
But more to the point, I just started this to get used to writing down my thoughts.\u00a0 Being lazy when it comes to writing, and having had some folks ask if I might write on a few topics I\u2019ve taught\u00a0over the years, I figured this would be a nice way to keep me in practice, and who knows, maybe get a little better as time goes on.\u00a0 So while my Catholic identity will lead me to jump in\u00a0and comment on things in the Church, especially if my old pastoral eye detects something here or there, it may just as easily focus on the news, politics, sports, lots of history, or any one of a hundred other things that catches my mind at the moment.\u00a0 And often it will be without the need to bring it back to a Catholic this or a Christian that.\u00a0 Just thought I would toss that out there since it looks like newer readers are coming by more regularly and might be curious just WTH this blog is all about anyway!<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
