Wow. Herron's material sure got scrubbed fast. Just a few scraps left in the Wayback Machine.

Btw, Amy sure be mad.

I had a real soft spot to her for years because I sort of liked her. She was kind of easy on the eyes. She was also much more civilized, cultured, writerly (almost actually Christian) than the garrulous Puzzulo, flatulent Shea, scamming Scalia, Gaydanus and Deacon's Stench
or the lackadaisical Longenecker. She was kind, but in the final analysis, pushing an un-Catholic agenda with the rest of these celebrity cloggers.

She used to have a quote from Flannery O'Connor on her blog, pointing to a certain degree of acedia, and that points, in my mind, to where this crap really started: The Catholic Worker Movement and places like that coven of lesbians in Highland Park.

What's your beef with blogs? This is one. I think they do a lot of good keeping the all important dialog going, whether they be sede or normal.

@Steph So you don't mind blogs that are obviously puppets of various agendas hostile or alien to Catholicism?

The Catholic Blogs like those mentioned are like Protestant churches: Fronts for Political Movements.
Of all of them, Welborn's seemed the most innocuous. If she hadn't opened the door for others who pushed the envelope further, I doubt anyone would care. Hers would be little different from all the religious and ethnic blogs run as hobbies by housewives who share recipes and knitting tips.

Nevertheless, blogging on theFaith can be the near occasion of sin for all:

IF you do anything Church related, there's always a price to be paid, and the various people who promote themselves for money will already have received their reward when the last trumpet sounds.

If you blog, write on the Church, or declare yourself a Christian, be prepared to be nailed to a cross and raised up for the ridicule of the world.

What's your whinge about Tancred? Your site is certainly hostile to and subvertive of Catholicism.

But Fakeo de Wankerella, your gay definition of Catholicism, involving the canonization of buggery, would have at least been horrible to most people prior to 1960, except perhaps in certain areas in the Languedoc, Galicia and Bosnia from the 6th to the 13th centuries.

Own comment: 

Running a blog is serious business indeed but reading should not be taken any lighter.

A lot of blogs have very grave pre-suppositions which are inimical to the faith, sometimes even without due intent.

There are 3 critical issue nowdays as to whether a blog can be trusted. One is how it treats the Bergoglio question. The other is  how it treats the Jewish question. Of utmost importance is, of course, how it treats the Novus Ordo mass, but as this is sometimes a tangential issue the attitude to the Mass might not make itself known.

If it tries to whitewash Bergoglio then know that it should be avoided. If it tries to whitewash talmudism, or claim that Jews and Christians ought to join up to oppose Islam, or that Talmudism is better than Islam, then you are more likely than not dealing with a neo-con who may or may not be a neo-Catholic, so run fast!

Other than that: Enjoy what's out there! You might just learn something.
