I think your list is right on! I especially like the New Theological Movement, Battle of the Core of the World and of course St. Peters List!

CatholicismUSA is a newer site but at least honorable mention seems fitting!

Hmmm… who wrote this? Quite a few others should be on here. Fr. Z especially… IgnatiusInsight…

Father Z is on the original post that we published here. This list complies the “Reader Recommended” blogs that were posted in the comments on the original post. Check it out; the others you’re thinking of may be on it, if not please share in the comments! Pax.

The Archdiocese of Washington Blog with Msgr. Charles Pope is far superior to Bad Catholic or other similar self-centered blogs. Msgr. Pope does an outstanding job with his spiritually relevant homilies that are understandable while at the same time personally challenging. The ADW blog has made an impressive impact for Catholic identity and evangelism.

It’s funny. I read the list of 25 worth my time blogs. I read of two of them. But, if I parouse the notable site-list, I find I regularly read nearly all of the ones on that list. What gives?

Honored to be included, guys. Different blogs, different personalities, reach different people. It’s a great diversity within the unity of the truth of Christ and His Church. God bless!

Having been an active Catholic blogger for over 5 years I recognize only 8 out of the 25 blogs. Out of those 8, 4 are must reads.

No love for Crescat. Now I cry. But a big fat congrats to Tim @ Called to Communion.

Whew! My humility can remain intact, since I did not make the list. ;)
I love that Brent, Jennifer, Devin, Joe, Marc and Ignitum Today did! They deserve it, and are sufficiently humble to handle the glory.

Ugh. That Bad Catholic blog is a pit of filth and nastiness. If that’s representative of the kind of blogs you’re promoting, count me out. That place fosters evil like nothing I’ve ever seen before.

What?!?! No Dominican homily blogs??? Outrageous!
Fortunately, I know of one: Domine, da mihi hanc aquam!

How come Fr Z and Simcha Fischer don’t get a mention here on the main list? Easily two of the very best, in my opinion…
