A Penitent Blogger
Humble reflections - mindful of my imperfections, seeking to know Truth more deeply and to live Love more fully.

Catholic Fire
Catholic pro-life news and views, movie and book reviews, brief biographical sketches of the saints, poetry, prayers, musings

Mental Pompeii
Thomas Merton used a phrase in his classic book The Seven Story Mountain that has stuck with me - "mental Pompeii". I think this best describes the content of my blog. It will include the eruptions of thoughts I have during my life as an American, Catholic, conservative, father of two, and physician.

Against The Grain
Occasional reflections on philosophy, theology and politics by the maintenance guy for the Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club.

Ecclesia Militans
A bi-ritual blog containing musings on Catholic liturgy of both the East and West.

Light On Dark Water
Essays on general topics and poetry grounded in Catholic faith and sensibility; includes a regular weekly column, the Sunday Night Journal. Particularly interested in literature and music.

Rebecca's Rispostas
The ramblings of a stay-at-home, rosary-making, Girl Scout troop leading, Catholic Mom of one very active little girl.

One Bread, One Body
Blogs my journey with Christ and his Catholic Church. There is some emphasis on Christian Unity through a charitable meeting of doctrines and hearts, all with Christ in the center. Most likely biases would be for Catholicism, the Eucharist and the sanctity of life, marriage and family.

Random Thought
This Blog focuses on the curious journey we make through faith and reason, tying rational thought together with faith.

Our Lady of Mt. Carmel: Testimonies of Faith
Carmelite spirituality, prayer, meditation & contemplation.
