Victor Lams presents Blog! the musical. Just when you think he couldn’t outdo his previous comedic video-musical endeavors he hits a new high mark. I think the world is just a little bit safer that Victor can release those ideas in his head safely through a blog.
Welcome to Daniel Baker of Gaudete Semper (Rejoice Always). I’ve been tempted to give my blog a Latin title that would look cool and appeal to my Catholic geek jester sensibilities.

John Betts is back to blogging at Just Your Average Catholic Guy and Boycott CAI.
Recently there has been a couple more bloggers in St. Blogs who have stopped blogging. Reading blogs seems to be such a more personal form of internet communication that you feel like you have lost a good friend when they stop blogging. You seem to get so much more of the sense of a person through weblogs then through your average editorial or columnist. Also thought there are more and more people blogging and this cycle of people starting and stopping will probably always continue. Maintaining a blog seems easier from the outside then actually doing it. I remember hearing talk show hosts mentioning people saying that they have such an easy job since they only have to work three hours of day. This also seems true of most bloggers, especially pundits that there is more work involved then what you read.
First there is The Southfarthing Soapbox which is a group hobbit blog. Not only do they have the good taste to link to me but also to my favorite comic Get Fuzzy introduced earlier this year to me by my brother.
jessnjim, Jim (brother of Bill Cork) and Jessica Cork’s blog.
Vociferous Yawpings, this blog is so anonymous that not even a pseudonym or email address is given. There is a link to my blog but under the name “Veritas”. My apologies to Chris Burgwald for anyone trying to click his blog name and winding up at mine.
Welcome to Alan of Ad Altare Dei to St. Blogs and my blogroll. With all of these new Catholic blogs with Latin titles I will have significantly increased my Latin vocabulary by the years end.
Welcome to Sparki of Fonticulus Fides, new to St. Blogs and to the Church as of the Easter Vigil.
The blog describes itself:
”A small spring of faith” tracking the journey of Sparki, an atheist-turned evangelical-turned liturgical Christian-turned Catholic discovering the joys and mysteries of the Faith.”
As Washington National Cathedral approached completion, the west towers rose towards the sky, striking toward heaven. During the building a startling idea was hatched: hold a competition for children to design decorative sculpture for the Cathedral.
Word of the competition was spread nationwide through National Geographic World Magazine. The third-place winner was Christopher Rader, with his drawing of that fearful villain, Darth Vader. The fierce head was sculpted by Jay Hall Carpenter, carved by Patrick J. Plunkett and placed high upon the northwest tower of the Cathedral…
To Find Darth Vader you have to leave the building through the ramp entrance. This is located at the northwest corner of the nave, through the double wooden doors of Lincoln Bay. Go down the ramp, and step into the parking lot. Then, turn around and look back up at the tower closest to you. He is almost impossible to see without the assistance of binoculars.
Way way way up, almost at the top of the tower is a gablet, or small peaked roof, located between the two huge louvered arches. At the bottom of each slope of this gablet is a carved grotesque.
This is not a joke, see the site for yourself.
