New Link Category

Before I go to bed, I'm going to introduce people (as is customary in the blogosphere) to some new links on the left. They're all Catholic in some way, not boring (to me, at least), and one doesn't feel like one's taking an acid bath while reading them.

I've linked to Catholic Ragemonkey before. It's a blog run by three Catholic Priests, who post their homilies, anecdotal stories about being a priest, and discussions on who is alpha male ragemonkey.

Shrine of the Holy Whapping is run by a bunch of Notre Dame University students. Their blog is apparently named after a noted transliteration in an old text. Among their sidebar links is a list of top ten orthodox catholic pick-up lines that are quite horribly bad.

Waiting in Joyful Hope is the daily blog of a Catholic Priest who lives round-abouts Montreal. His recent posts include some minor rejoicing at the news that the Greek Orthodox Church has restored the female Deaconate.

Catholic Girl calls herself a Bad Catholic because she's a Democrat. I'd disagree, but it is a good name for a blog. Like many people, her most recent focus is on sex, namely about the futility of abstinence-only sex education and the church's spreading of misinformation about condoms in Africa.

Unapologetic Catholic has had the misfortune to run into some extremist and shoddy apologetics work and now has the understandable position that apologetics are a bad thing. A recent focus on his has been refuting Intelligent Design.

With that, I'm going to bed.

UPDATE: Rather than make a new post while this one is still near the top, I'm instead posting a link here to Fr. Dowd's post on the various Rites of the church.
