Seven Highest Rated 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- His Eminence Cardinal Dolan is the Prince of the Church in NYC and a very active user of online platforms. He is a great source of news about USCCB and offers a preview of his liturgical itinerary. He gives a world view and clarity to emerging issues from his position as a prince of the church.

Dominica: Dominican Students of the Province of St. Joseph- This blog is run by Dominican preachers. It offers dynamism in subjects especially since the contributors are drawn from different regions and social sectors. This has also brought in diversity in style when handling church and societal issues. Dominica has a reputation of devotion to doctrines and depths even on the most trivialized matter.

Taylor Marshall: Canterbury Tales- this is a very traditionally oriented platform. The posts make references to significant Church Fathers including St. Thomas of Aquinas. Each topic, however trivial it might be considered, is given a lot of attention. This results in highly researched and intellectually engaging articles.

Fr. Longenecker: Standing on the Head- he has devoted most of his posts to catechism and answers or commentaries. Some of the posts, however, are free and random thoughts. It is the one blog where the faith mixes with The Lord of Rings, possibility of aliens existing and a little bit of politics. He has a very interesting past that finds its way into the posts. His prowess in writing makes the posts irresistible.

Pulp.it- the site is maintained by Edwards Tito and features entries from other blogs. It consistently offers five posts on daily basis spread from morning to mid-morning, afternoon, an afternoon-extra and the last in the evening. Beyond the best posts during the day, it features articles from the National Catholic Register.

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.
