Leave The American Catholic out of the mix. This is not an attempt to fish for compliments. I am curious which other Catholic blogs our readers like. Name them in the comboxes.
Best Catholic Blogs
Donald R. McClarey
Cradle Catholic. Active in the pro-life movement since 1973. Father of three, one in Heaven, and happily married for 41 years. Small town lawyer and amateur historian. Former president of the board of directors of the local crisis pregnancy center for a decade.
St. Corbinian’s Bear. The Bruin knows how to write in a most Catholic way. Bitingly honest.
“Charlotte was Both” is unique and testimony to a very intelligent and hard working, well known Catholic author/widow coping and succeeding as she brings up two remaining sons…one in home schooling. Small combox activity and its moderated.
“Homiletic and Pastoral Review” is another good one because Catholic trolls with snarky one liners are never published which makes it the only site where I saw Fr. Brian Harrison appear and agree with my just previous post on St.JPII distorting wifely obedience by using one verse from Ephesians as the entire teaching.
“Pertinacious Papist” is partly a Latin Mass fan doing incredible detail work on that and other topics.
“The Catholic Thing” has good essays but combox turns me off…a group that is critical of Francis (good) but incapable of noting errors in his two predecessors (bad)…all three Popes will get thousands killed going forward with their bizarre anti death penalty regression in the magisterium.
Fr. Z of course. Rorate Coeli.
And here, of course. Those are my 3 “every day” reads.
Not really a blog, more a news aggregator, PewSitter.com. Kind of a Catholic Drudge.
I hope you’ll allow a podcasts under blogs: “Catholic Under the Hood” by Fr Seraphim Beshoner, TOR.

Of course, most of those make appearances on my own blog, from time to time (or more often).
The Remnant
Please peruse through not only the Blogroll but the entire RHS Sidebar of my blog THE WAR – The WAR that broke out in heaven | Our Time . In the Blogroll The American Catholic is listed. Please see this comment of mine at 1P5 for part of my reasoning in why some blogs have been listed.

I have sometimes stumbled upon excellent blogs from simple ordinary people but one can perceive from them a deep piety. They never make the “big-league” but they are known to God and are testament to the “holy” in the the holy catholic Church. Perhaps in another post I will list a few of these.
Rotate and One Peter Five.
Used to always check out Fr. Z but there are too many pictures of food and his travels. I can’t relate. Lunch for me is a sandwich with lunch meat, some potato chips, fruit, etc and I make the same trip to work and home every day. Flying to NYC, Rome, etc…….ain’t happenin’.

These Stone Walls.
Fr. Z
Ann Barnhardt too.
She is a bundle of TNT and always in perpetual motion.
EOTT to get a good chuckle. Thanks TAC for the introduction to its site.
Fr. MacRae has a difficult life in These Stone Walls. Blogging from prison, he shares his insights and opinions as a falsely accused paedophile. Reading the history of this priest and the false accusations that landed him in prison, I for one truly believe he is suffering for countless souls as he imitates the sufferings of Christ falsely accused and imprisoned. Redemptive suffering at work.
My favorite Catholic site is TAC.
Donald McClarey and other contributors put their heart and soul into service through this blog. Thank you for timely history lesson’s and the years of education that all of you share so generously. I have benefited from this site. I do try to stay quiet and learn when subject matter and discussions amongst yourselves are, well….over my head. When I do wonder into the deep end of the pool, please be kind and forgive me for doing so.
I appreciate your banter. All of you.
…wander…into the deep. But “wonder” into the deep is fitting.. sort of.
Alright, if I may, let me do a Tito Edwards and mention mine:
–
Today’s Martyrs http://todaysmartyrs.org/
–
The blog tab is not really a blog, just a running commentary. People who like history tell me they are up to 2 AM on it. There are 6500 pages up on it, most in PDF format.
Can anyone recommend a good email subscription add-in for WordPress that has no cost or fees, including hidden ones?
TomD. Your Today’s Martyrs; People section is very moving. Your site is moving. I will visit it more often to pray for these souls still held captive. All their suffering for the name of Jesus Christ. Hero’s all.
Thanks TomD.
Saint Maximilian Kolbe pray for us!

Corpus Christi watershed.
I’ll be visiting this site too.
Thanks for the introduction.
RE: @bill bannon here on the Death Penalty. Quoting from this link I provided above:
NB: Canon law has always forbidden clerics to shed human blood and therefore capital punishment has always been the work of the officials of the State and not of the Church. – Catholic Encyclopedia > P > Capital Punishment. Therefore to put or not to put someone to death belongs to the State and not the Church.

@Philip Most welcome! And long time. Hope you are well. And thanks to @Donald R. McClarey for asking. I believe very good info has been exchanged. God bless you and yours and keep up the good fight.
@FMShyanguya.
And good health to you as well.
There is so much to learn.
I love God and try everyday to love Him through service to my neighbor.
It is a good relationship.
He does speak to my heart.
Sometimes it’s a dark night too.
My (honeymoon) was 15 years ago when I was overwhelmed by His manifestations, but I realize the importance of being able to pray consistently and love always regardless of personal feelings or consolations.
He has taken me out of His arms and has allowed me to walk on my own….always near, but not needing to hold me close.
It is spectacular… a new birth….a new adolescence in a way. A new creation.
I love God and thank Him continually… In the sunny weather and stormy….His love never disappoints.
@Philip when I was overwhelmed by His manifestations – something perhaps to share with us some time.
Please allow me to humbly share mine, pieced together very recently.

His love … for us … God’s love for us and he being God had the Associate Pastor Fr. Bert , during his homily this past Sunday at my parish, exclaim to us
he himself clearly overwhelmed and in awe.
FMShyanguya,
We disagree. When three Popes against the wording of their own faulty catechism article 2267…publicly campaign verbally in speeches for the ABOLISHMENT of the death penalty, they even contradict Benedict’s earlier words because abolishing means it’s not an option…words which you cite and they …these Popes…are responsible for murder victims where they have been successful….as they were in the Phillipines where the dp was probably not used well when they had it til recently since their murder rate is 8 times that of China and 24 times that of Japan.
Google homicide by country wiki. You’ll notice where there are majority poor…that’s where the death penalty saves lives. Frankly Japan with or without a death penalty….would have few murders like Europe and Maine and Vermont….places with few radically poor as percent of population. But northern Latin America and Africa….no and few executions… are 1 and 2 in murder rates at the world level and East Asia excepting Phillipines is safest with a billion poor. Middle class nations is not the point except the US which has a 4.7 per 100,000 murder rate but a 32 per 100,000 rate ( same as Central America) in the ghettoes like Baltimore/rough and a death penalty in some states whose appeals process length disables deterrence to some effect. Yet even at that, SCOTUS found that it deters….after four years of comparing warring deterrence studies.
LoneStarParson…
My only regular stop that hasn’t been mentioned.
God Guns Church and Country life in Texas..
ExNOAAman. That blogspot reveals down to earth friendly folk. He mentioned Holy Trinity Sunday and fishing. I like that.
We did okay for trout opener in Northern Michigan. Our camp landed three Brook Trout, one German Brown and one 24″ Rainbow Trout. I caught the Brown. Mass on Sunday!
No matter where we are, we find a Mass. Of course we sit way in the back….camper is very rustic. Running water remains in the river.
Philip,
I think Fr. LSP lived in the north for a time (Calgary). His place is a relaxing read after all the difficulties discussed here and elsewhere.
24″ you say? Seems dang big for a rainbow. Congrats….
“Seems dang big for a rainbow..”
It is. Tim Mulherin from Indy caught this monster dragging a crawler along the bottom of the Jordan river, sneaking it into the large dark holes. He said it was the largest trout he has ever taken from the river systems.
A beautiful fish.
I have been trying to paste photo on this site, without any good luck. Please feel free to view it at Instagram. Kolbebrother is my site.
The other fish you’ll see is my 12″ brown trout.
The sketch of “behold the man,” was done with charcoal. Aug 15th of 2002. I was shocked when he appeared. I’m not that talented, however He was guiding my hand.
I just opened Instagram last week for the very first time. I’m a novice when it comes to social media.
Yeah, Brian.
Denzinger-Bergoglio site is really great.
I have the opportunity to work with them translating into Portuguese their article summing up the first 100 (how can I say?) errors of Pope Francis.
They continue counting.
Best,
Pedro
I mean I had the opportunity of working…
One other…was AudioSancto.org , (now divested)
just go there and it can send you to the 3 new sites where you can download podcasts of some great traditional sermons.
