According to Amazon it is published in the Uk by the Catholic Truth Society under the title:YOUCAT: The Official Youth Catechism of the Catholic Church. I am not sure what books, if any, the Vatican publishes. The "official" publications of which I am aware are all published by independent publishers under contract to the Church. |

I did some research, to find out whether YouCat was produced at the Vatican, and have made a detailed post on our YouCat thread http://s10.zetaboards.com/Catholic_CyberForum/topic/7333913/1/#new |

Any idiot can write a blog and http://www.blogger.com will be happy to provide the new blogger/writer with all s/he needs. In fact most blogs referred to in these posts are hosted by blogger. Proof that any idiot can write a blog - here's mine: http://mickcooksplace.blogspot.com/ It just takes a click to update my Facebook wall with details of my latest effort, or to tweet to whoever's interested, with over 2,000 hits I seem to have been noticed. So why shouldn't a parish priest who can deliver a half-decent sermon use blogger? If you're on Facebook, why not try to express yourself by writing your own blog? Make sure you check your facts and you should be okay. Have a good rant! |

I'm not sure if I have mentioned this in the past, but every member here has the use of a personal blog as part of their membership on the forum. Your blog can be created/accessed via "Preferences" at the top and "my blog", located under Profile options. |

Holy Smoke is still hubbling, bubbling, toiling and troubling. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/author/damianthompson/ |

I saw that, but it's no longer "Holy Smoke", is it? It just looks like a collection of ferret-authored news posts. |

At the end of each article click "read more". It is still a blog, with comments published. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/damianthompson/100135229/the-queens-christian-faith-puts-our-bishops-to-shame/ |

But, Holy Smoke, as it was, no longer exists as a blog. |

If you click Religion on the list of Telegraph blogs, you will see just one blog with items by a few journalists. Damian Thompson's most recent contribution was made on 6th February. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/category/religion/page/2/ DT and his Holy Smoke are now twittering. http://twitter.com/#!/holysmoke That man's face gives me the creeps. He really does look like a ferret. I can imagine him poking that pointed little nose of his into a bishop's keyhole to see if he can smell roast beef on a Friday.

Putting the "Fun Dame" into Fundamentalist

It stopped being called "Holy Smoke" a couple of years ago. All the Telegraph blogs dropped their names, for example Gerald Warner's blog used to be called "Is it just me?", but then it lost that title. |
