One of the bloggers who attended the February 15th seminar has posted a full report on his blog Lacrimarum Valle It's quite a long piece, and concludes:

The Catholic Herald has an interview with Fr.Z. available on the revamped website. He sounds a very interesting character, but the photograph looks as if it's from a gangster movie. http://www.catholicherald.co.uk/features/f0000225.html

Father Val Farrell's Blog This is the blog for Father Valentine Farrell in Blackpool and he's got a great biography of the new Bishop Co-Adjutor, Rev Michael Campbell OSA, the first Augustinian Bishop in these islands since 1532. There are also wonderful Lenten reflections, information of the Diocese of Lancaster and the parish of Holy Family in Blackpool. Father Val always has a lot of relevant information about the church to pass along, plus a few fun things as well. Always an excellent read. |

I've found some nuns' blogs. I think blogging would be a lovely hobby for a lady who has taken a vow of silence, but these nuns are not in silent orders. Dominican Sisters That blog is impersonal, mainly informative. Sister Mary Martha (USA) I rather like Sister Mary Martha. She has a sense of humour. Her hobbies are listed as * dusting pews * scrubbing floors on hands and knees * hours of comtemplative prayer * terrorizing children The front page of her blog says Ask Sister Mary Martha Life is tough. But Nuns are tougher. If you need helpful advice just Ask Sister Mary Martha. She'll help you. Just don't expect any sympathy. :D |

I'm becoming addicted to reading blogs - can anyone recommend a suitable counselling programme? In the meantime, I recommend a look at Ttony's blog The Muniment Room KatyA |

I would have thought that reading my blog was a counselling programme all in itself cut and thrust = 0 opiniated drivel = 1 translations from obscure Spanish bloggers = 1 odd American quizzes = 1 vocal support for the Hierarchy = 0 whinging =1 Why do I blog? My last posting on totalcatholic repeated a mistake I made once on Holysmoke of taking a professional journalist to task over something wrong he'd written: if there is one thing professional journalists can do well, it's wipe the floor (in print) with any amateur who comes along! If you come along to my blog it's because you're interested - or at least curious. You don't have to stay, you don't have to comment, and you don't have to get into a discussion. Forums (other than this one, of course!) can be a bit heavy, and it would be rude to post a comment on one and then not bother to look to see who had responded, and to engage with them. |

I like your blog, Ttony. It is honest, not heavily confrontational, a pleasure to read, and it has some good links to other sites. For those interested here is a snippet I found when I clicked on of the links on your blog:

I came across this blog The Fullness of Faith by an ex-Anglican vicar, now a Catholic lay prison chaplain. Monday's entry on the National Prison Chaplains Conference made me smile. The preceeding entry on 5 April concerns tips for evangelisation - and since he is a convert, he probably has some good ideas.
Click the link above for his tips. KatyA |

The Oxford University Newman Society hosted a 'Bloggers' Colloquium' in the Catholic Chaplaincy on 15 February 2008 to discuss the phenomenon of blogging and its impact on the Church and the world. Br Lawrence Lew OP was invited to give one of the talks; here is a snip ffrom an abridged version of his talk on Godzdogz

Fr.Selvester, at Shouts in the Piazza has some information about papal footwear on his blog. The Pope does not wear Prada! I did not know the reason Popes wore red shoes either before reading this blog. KatyA |

The Pope probably gets one of his aides to look for cheap footwear on e Bay. |
