I love Catholic Media! Especially that which is accessible via the Internet. Searching for kindred spirits is what brought me to the world of blogging in the first place. But honestly, I don\u2019t have enough time to enjoy as much Catholic Media as I would like. After all, if I just consumed<\/i> Catholic Media, I would never create any<\/i> for you to consume.<\/p>\n

Look at what time I am posting this, for example. It is almost 2130, which is 9:30 PM for all you civilians out there.
<\/a>
My excuse is the same one it has always been: I\u2019m a Catholic, a husband, a dad, an employee, and THEN I am a Catholic blogger too. Sometimes, after all of that, I even get to eat and sleep. Did I mention that I just got home from my oldest son\u2019s baseball double-header? Actually, it\u2019s something of a miracle that I get to post anything at all.<\/p>\n

But since it is Catholic Media Promotion Day<\/a>,<\/i> I\u2019ll first thank everyone who chose Why I Am Catholic<\/i> as one of your favorites. Thank you kindly! Sure, it\u2019s presumptuous to assume anyone did<\/i>\u00a0actually chose us as one of their favorites, but you never know. It just might have happened.<\/p>\n

Listen! I even lent my voice to this promo clip!<\/a>\u00a0See if you can pick out my voice.<\/p>\n

As always, let me be frank (pun, very much intended) with you even further in stating that there is no way in hell that I have the time to listen to podcasts, or even to download them. Not gonna do it, wouldn\u2019t be prudent! But here are my favorite sites and blogs that I use or actually read pretty much on a daily basis. And yeah, I\u2019m breaking the rules and sharing more than three. Oops!<\/p>\n

Universalis<\/a>, the LOTH<\/p>\n

The Deacon\u2019s Bench<\/a>, Deacon Greg Kandra<\/p>\n

Catholic and Enjoying It<\/a>, Mark Shea<\/p>\n

Chronicles of Atlantis<\/a>, Athos<\/p>\n

BadCatholic<\/a>, Marc Barnes (aka, \u201cThe Kid\u201d<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Happy Catholic<\/a>, Julie Davis<\/p>\n

The Anchoress<\/a>, Elizabeth Scalia<\/p>\n

New Advent<\/a><\/p>\n

Patheos Catholic Portal<\/a><\/p>\n

CatholicJukebox.com<\/a><\/p>\n

and would you believe,<\/p>\n

the YIMCatholic Bookshelf<\/a>? I\u2019m always using that resource.<\/p>\n

Now, I need a beer and to go to bed\u2026Pax!<\/p>\n
