Vox Nova’s First Anniversary

Well, it was one year ago today that a small group of bloggers, unsatisfied and discouraged by the lack of balance in cultural and political analysis among Catholic blogs, launched Vox Nova. Our ambition was large, our expectations were small. We’ve received a great deal of praise and a whole lot of criticism for our efforts since, and I think I speak for all when I thank our readers–and I do mean every one of them–for their time, thought and passion. I’ve learned a great deal from my fellow bloggers and from our commentators.

To commemorate the occasion, we’ve selected our favorite post by each Vox Nova contributor from the past twelve months. Enjoy!
