Prayer request: Catholic Lotsa bloggers flagged

Please remember Julie from Happy Catholic and her husband in your prayers – especially this weekend – and well as those they serve and those who serve with them. Julie, and hubby, and several other couples are off to facilitate their “Beyond Cana Marriage Enrichment Weekend” and it seems like Old Scratch – who we know likes to get in the way of people trying to do good things – is doing his darndest to get in the way of the weekend – all of the volunteer leaders have had curves thrown at them in the past few days – family injuries, and the like.

Anyway, Julie asked me to ask you to please keep all involved in your prayers, that the presenters may do the will of God and the participants may find their marriages enriched and their faith strengthened.

Julie would tell you about it herself, but someone has flagged her site as a “spam” blog and so google/blogger has her locked out.

Also locked out of their blogs are Deacon Greg of Deacon’s Bench and Patrick O’ Hannigan of Paragraph Farmer. Someone is clearly up to mischief – three less offensive folks there could not be – but it seems blogger’s safe-guards are looked at by some as a chance to stomp out free expression of thought!

Curiously, all three are bloggers – who are on my blogroll – had agreed to allow me to use some of their stuff for reprinting over here during the online retreat I am planning for next weekend (but poor Julie mistakenly thought was this weekend!)

Not that one is conspiracy minded.

But it does seem that Old Scratch is doing his usual. Pray for Julie, her husband and Beyond Cana group, Deacon Greg and Patrick. And please pray for the success of the retreat that will begin at sundown August 10.

UPDATE: Vita Nostra In Ecclesia is also flagged, as well as Catholic Fire. Let me know of any other Catholic blogs on google/blogger and I’ll add them to the growing list!

UPDATE II:
Dr. Helen is also locked out, so this mischief isn’t just anti-Catholic. In fact, Instapundit says thousands are flagged, with across-the-board interests. Summer mischief?
