National Catholic Register mentions me (and other young Catholic blogs)

A friend of mine says American Papist was mentioned in a recent issue of the National Catholic Register.

Anyone know which issue/where? I'd like to know. :-)

Young, Catholic and Connected: Worthwhile youth blogs abound
National Catholic Register

The blogging nation is quite young. I discovered that firsthand. Faced with a looming deadline, I decided to write about youth blogs. Young adults and teens, even children, if I could find some.

So I ran a notice on my blog: “Send me your children! The younger the better! I’m not a pedophile. I’m dedicating my next Register blog column to youth blogs.”

I figured I’d get a couple recommendations. Instead, I got a deluge.

I should’ve known better. Blogging is a young person’s sport. The best blogs are written by adults, but young people like to write and blog. And there are lots of Catholic youngsters out there.

That doesn’t mean, of course, that there are lots of good Catholic youth blogs. When deciding to write about them, I remembered a T-shirt that read, “You can’t be old and wise unless you were young and stupid.” I also remembered my younger days, and that alone was enough to make me nervous.

I’m happy to report that the risk paid off.

I was impressed and edified. I can’t say all of the blogs I reviewed showcase polished prose and profound insights, but my surfing revealed a core of solid young Catholics in our country — the types of youngsters I’d be happy to call my children some day.

First off, there are a few well-known blogs. At American Papist (americanpapist.com/blog.html), “Thomas” (he doesn’t use his last name) is 21. He has a master’s degree in theology and a sense of humor; visitors will find ample evidence of both.

Wow, kind words from Eric Scheske! (NB: I'll have my Master's degree this fall - I don't have it yet).
