Seven Best Conservative Catholic Blogs

By Enid Hinton


There are numerous web pages created in the name of the Catholic Church. However, not all are worth your time. After studying thousands of pages in different languages and by people of diverse ranks, here are the top conservative catholic blogs that will satisfy your daily need for information, details and news.

Father Z: What does the Prayer Really Say? This is a platform for commentaries and liturgical nuances. The priest focuses on news from church hierarchy and comments on emerging national, regional and global issues. He has a fun side where he posts about his bird feeder and includes photos. The blog pays a lot of attention to catechism and the liturgy.

Dolan: The Gospel in the Digital Age- This could be among the most active platforms by a Prince of the Church, His Eminence Cardinal Dolan from NYC. Bishop Dolan has managed to capture the faithful of NYC and also provide important news from USCCB. You will find his schedule on daily basis if you wish to follow his journey of faith. His high position makes the platform very authoritative.

Dominica: Dominican Students of the Province of St. Joseph- The blog is run by a team of dedicated and highly intellectual Dominican preachers. Their contributors are drawn from different spheres giving the platform incredible mirage, diversity and depth. It has a reputation of offering the best commentaries on societal and religious emerging issues.

Taylor Marshall Canterbury Tales- This blog makes a lot of reference to St. Thomas of Aquinas as well as the Church Fathers. It has a reputation for substance and brevity in handling any matter. The posts are laden with catechistical characters and try to reveal the depth in what may be considered simple and basic teachings in the church.

Fr. Longenecker: Standing on the Head- the American born clergy and writer has given a lot of attention to commentaries and answers on the catechism. He has an interesting way of including random thoughts and ideas. These ideas range from the existence of aliens to commentaries on The Lord of Rings or politics of the day. It is interesting to read articles by the experienced writer and clergy with a unique story to tell.

Pulp.it- this is a blog that collects the best doctrine related posts around the web. It remains consistent with a post in the morning, mid morning, afternoon, late afternoon and evening on daily basis. It also contains the latest release by National Catholic Register. It can be considered a sampler of what bloggers around the world are offering.

Creative Minority Report- the blog is the most authentic platform for conservative Catholics and politicians. Each story features an interesting introduction or commentary. You can follow the blog on twitter where there are regular and very interesting tweets on church related and diverse views.

Other blogs that are worth perusing include First Things, Catholic Vote and Live action. They give different perspectives to the faith for the clergy, laity, catechism students and the public. These blogs offer an opportunity to understand the faith and add reflections on daily occurrences from a doctrinal point of view.
