Apparently Mark Shea, one of the Catholic Blogosphere’s sage’s, has gotten caught up in all the hoopla surrounding President Obama’s ascension inauguration. He has succumbed to change. After six years and eight months of staying faithful to what I believe to be the Sand Dollar template that Blogger offers, Mr. Mark Shea decided to change, in the spirit of bipartisanship, the template he uses for his blog (Catholic and Enjoying It!) from Sand Dollar to Minima Lefty.
Mark Shea, a proficient blogger, writer, and apologist. An insightful and sometimes provocative Catholic with his interminable style of debating has shocked, shocked I tell you, the Catholic blogosphere with this switch to Minima Lefty! In one bold stroke Mark Shea has decided to thumb his nose in the face of traditionalists.
Has Mark fallen into Clypeasteroidaphobia? Has he gone off the deep end and embraced the Spirit of Vatican II. Thus completely severing himself from tradition. He has gone out of his looney tunes mind is my opinion.
Death, Taxes, and the Sand Dollar template of Mark Shea’s Catholic and Enjoying It! blog were three things I could depend on in life. *SIGH*. What next? Fr. Richard McBrien defending Bishop Richard Williamson’s anti-Semitic remarks? Cardinal Mahony inviting Tim Staples to his Religious Education Congress? Nothing seems sacred today. From guitar Masses to Communion in the hand, I too will have to resign myself to this change and trust in God’s plan for us all.
One thing is for sure, I can always read a well written and solid article regarding Catholicism from Mark Shea.
Sad but true.
So is the the Mark of Scripture, or the Shea of history?
This could be debated in the bolgosphere fo eternity. 😉
Good to see you my favorite New Zealander!
Yeah. How ya doing.
Walter I left a question for you over at unreasonable faith, I am curious as to what you may say. Thank you
I capitulated to all the people who have been demanding I enter the New Millennium with a blog that actually cooperated with RSS feeds and such. Every ten years I try to catch up.
Mark,
That makes a lot of sense. I remember asking a silly question on how to create a link to a post of yours. I’m sure you’ll have less of those questions with this particular template allowing for such things (among other questions).
I remember finally purchasing a cell phone. Yeah I caught up. Now I’m reconsidering and thinking of getting a land-line again and chucking my cell phone.
The simple life is very relaxing.
Hi Don.
Happy to be here 🙂
At least Bugs stays. And welcome to our NZ Peep Don To The K. Some Pacific warmth in these cold Americano days.
Hey Don, did you hear about this one?

Well, that’s the mentality of crims, isn’t it?
I’ve gotta say, we do get some doozies here.
But the latest wasn’t too funny – young hard working man was accidently shot by police who were actually aiming for a “P” (pure methamphetamine) crazed idiot who had stolen 4 cars, crashed them, and was taking pot shots at pursuing police with a .22 sawn off, and at the time was about to shoot a driver of a small truck after he had pranged his last car – that’s when the cops shot at him -the young man was behind, and in the line of fire – very sad.
But we are an environmentally friendly, safe, and people freindly country – right? Just ask the Dutch Govt. after a Dutch tourist was raped in a remote tourist caravan park. Keep to the towns.
So much for my little rant.
But great to be here 🙂
Don, in my criminal defense work I often have to strain to keep a straight face in court. Criminals are rarely masterminds. Often their explanation to me is that they were drunk or on drugs. My stock response: “Good! I would hate to think you would do such a stupid thing stone cold sober!”
