Do you run a Catholic blog, or is it more like a Catholic blahhhhg? Do you wish you had more readers? Is your Sitemeter daily count smaller than Kate Middleton’s waist size, and you wish it would expand (the daily count, not KM’s waist)? Does your combox have more robo-generated spam comments selling shoes and junk than comments left by actual people?
Read the rest at Acts of the Apostasy.

It seems to me you can build a loyal following of those who agree with you & each other (echo chamber syndrome) or attract diverse types and have food fights raging in your combox degenerating into attacks which in the real world would result in brains on the walls.
RINO hunts.
Pro-life = save the babies vs. feed the hungry
Bad, bad Bishop! (rolling up newspaper)
Corapi, ’nuff said.
Voris, ditto.
Liturgical dance.

TC – you’ve gotten the closest to the point of my post. Too many Catholic blog comboxes resemble MMA arenas – and they shouldn’t, regardless of the controversial topics being discussed.

Biretta: pom-pom or tassel? The debate rages.
Larry,
MMA arenas – and they shouldn’t…
Sorry to disagree: when you have the dismal indexes of PRACTICING Catholics current, any selfcomplacency STINKS.
Cordially
Just couldn’t resist reading the post and comments based on my own experience.
Too many Catholic Blogs are aimed at the “Choir”… How many blogs actually try to convert hearts? Granted, we all need continual conversion, but I’d love to see more blogs that actually reach out across the various divides in charity without selling out their Catholic identity.
