Catholic Dad's - Amateur catholic

Hi Amateur hosts.

I am looking to add the Catholic Dads site.

We are at: www.catholicdadsonline.org.

A lot of the Catholic Dads members (including yours truly) are Catholic B-Team members. Heck, half of the amateur hosts are Catholic Dads members (which reminds me – don’t forget to update your links to the new site). Thus I argue that Catholic Dads has a preponderance of amateurity (which is not an “official” word, but should be). I humbly ask that the Catholic Dads site be added to the Amateur Catholic list and that we be allowed to proudly display our Catholic B-Team badge on our site.

Thanks!

Rob Kaiser

Catholics View

I'm addicted to my faith and addicted to blogging. So far I'm explaining some aspects of our faith and how it personally affects me. I don't put anyone down in my blog, and I don't put up with any put downs on Catholics either. Please add me, I'm definately ametuer material. Did I spell that right? BTW I didn't get no college degree.

Brian Murphy - Amateur Catholic

Hello Amateur Catholic !

My name is Brian - I am Roman Catholic - Husband, Father, candidate for the Permanent Diaconate.
I am a new blogger, created the blog in April. I have created blogs before, but old template, and not very good.. My blog is named "A Book of Everything." It is a Catholic blog where everything can go. Things of family, life, music, politics, and some ranting. But most especially, things of God! It is my "little way" of evangelizing. I would like to become a member - when given permission, I will paste your widget to my blog.

God bless !

Tim Burke - Amateur Catholic

I am definitely a B-Team Catholic. Although technically I'm a paid youth minister, the size of my salary certainly doesn't qualify me to be a professional. I guess I would be considered a Professional Amateur, sort of like Single-A Baseball. I would love to be considered for membership to your site. The name of my blog is "Salvation Is An Adventure" and the site address is http://timburke74.blogspot.com.

Thank you and God bless,

Tim Burke

Pam Forrester: Amateur Catholic

Hi! I have had a blog since Jan. 07. I started placing Catholic Teaching in my home town newspaper. Then I thought people might want to interact with me after they read the little ad so I started a blog and simultaneously posted what was in the newspaper. Before long I was blogging regularly. I have only heard from one person from town at the blog but get visits from all over the world.
I post on Bread From Heaven Unlimited bfhu.wordpress.com and The Black Cordelias theblackcordelias.wordpress.com ( I was asked to post on that site) I only get a little over one hundred page views a day on my own blog so I am definitely an amateur.

God Bless

Penny Harper: Amateur Catholic

Dear Sirs:

Having read a few of your "amateur" blogs, I am wondering if you should not make a new badge for folks like me, who are trying to get past the truly irrelevant stage. I almost hate to say this, but yes, I am a convert of 21 years (a lot of us seem to write blogs, huh?). Anyway, everyone else seems to know all about Latin masses and who knows what, but here is my website anyway, In Both Death and Life.

I hate to think I want to join because the badge is so neat, but I might as well say it. Anyway, I write about whatever seems relevant (or not) at the moment, but most of it involves Catholicism in some way. At least, I think it does. Gonna have to read some more of your member's blogs, and after that, I may have to revise that.

Yours truly,
Penny Harper

Wondering Zygote Emeritus: Amateur Catholic

Hello Amateur Catholics,

I would like to join your list of Amateur Catholics.

Who would you list among Professional Catholics? I would like to argue that there is only one Professional Catholic.

I would say that individuals who make a living from their Catholic writings and speaking engagements are professional writers and speakers. They just happen to know a bunch about Catholicism.

Many Catholic bloggers have the same knowledge and devotion to the Church and its teachings, but they just can't write or speak as well.

What we have in common is that we love the Church in which Jesus lives that is directed by the Holy Spirit for the Glory of God the Father. We are all Amateur Catholics, save one, since amateur means one who loves.

The only Professional Catholic is Jesus Himself. He worked in order to purchase the Church, us, at a very high price.

1 Cor 6:17-20 http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/1corinthians/1corinthians6.htm
But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with him. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body.

One thing we Amateur Catholics do is glorify God in our bodies by blogging for Christ and His Church.

May we always work for our Lord in the whatever we do, say, think, or write.

Oh Lord,
save us all from the powers of hell,
and bring us together in Your Spirit,
Amen.

Fr Christian: Amateur Catholic

Dear B-Team,

I just came across your site and decided to send a request to join the team. My entire life has been notorious for a lack of money, perks and prestige and I can't tell you how much I like a good badge. Since I am a priest, I have a vocation rather than a job, so I might fit the mold. My blog is called Blessed Is The Kingdom and can be found at the address:

http://blessedisthekingdom.blogspot.com

Thanks for your consideration. It would be an honor to know I am part of the B-Team.

Fr Christian

Kelly: Amateur Catholic

Hello! Well, I'm as amateur as it gets. LOL! Go look at my last blog post if you don't believe me. I feel I've been "called" to blogging because God knew I needed to grow in humility! So if you think you can handle an amateur Catholic blogger as amateur as I am I'd love to join your group. Just know you've been warned! My blog for your consideration is

Na Zdrowie! The Kloska Family Blog: Amateur Catholic

n 1962, Irv Kloska and Bonnie Kowrach stood in St. Adalbert's Basilica in Grand Rapids and pledged their lives to each other. More than 40 years and 13 children later, their family has grown to more than 70 members... and counting. With this blog we keep in touch and share our thoughts - much like we have always done around our kitchen table. But like our table, friends are always invited. Welcome!

Jean-Therese Delacroix: Amateur Catholic

Dear Fellow Amateur Catholic:

I've been blogging for over a year now in two different sites, but I still haven't found my niche in the blogosphere yet (heh heh). Anyway, I'm still 100% amateur -- no job, no salary, just lots of work doing this blog for the glory of God now. Would it be fine with you guys if I join the group?

My current blog is: http://saacdelacroix.blogspot.com. (It's called Sincerely, An Angry Catholic, or SAAC for short.) It's just a collection of news, centrist opinion, and angry, pro-Church rantings from the author, if you want to know the contents, or rather, future contents (this blog has only existed for about a few days -- talking about amateur amateur here!).

Thank you, and I hope for your speedy reply.

-- Jean-Therese Delacroix

P.S. I have been hearing about your group for a while, but I never considered joining till now! It must be high time now that I've converted over to the B-team! (Just kidding!) : )

Big C Catholics

Dear B Team,

I want to make you aware of a new website for Catholics called "Big C Catholics." Big C Catholics is for Catholics who are faithful to the Magisterium and seek the fullness of truth. This is a place to reflect on and renew our faith, deepen our commitment to love and receive guidance on our spiritual journey. We seek to promote understanding of authentic Catholic teachings.among Catholics and non-Catholics alike.

Here is the URL: http://www.bigccatholics.com/ If you visit the site you'll see some of our first posts.

We are currently accepting homilies, short to medium length articles, reflections, commentaries, and reviews of publications of interest to orthodox Catholics. All submissions will be considered, however, we focus on theology, the complementarity of faith and reason, and other issues relevant to the life of the Church.

Please tell your readership about this site and the opportunity to submit articles. Again, all submissions will be considered subject to editorial review.

Please tell your colleagues and other faithful Catholics about us as well. Should you have any questions or comments feel free to contact me.

I may be reached at this address or through the feedback link on the Big C Catholics website.

Thank you for your time and attention.

In Christ,

John Varitas

Amateur Update

Greetings Fellow Members of Amateur Catholic:

Blogrolling is back up an running. I have made the requested changes that we could not previously. I also just went through and if a blog is gone, or hidden I removed it and culled about 50 blogs from the list. I have also set the blogroll to be random, rather then in the order added. Blessed Easter to each of you. On Behalf of the B-Team.

Peace and Strength!
Yours, learning to be

Bartimaeus: Amateur Catholic

Dear B-Team,

I am a Catholic layman with a Charismatic bent but I am definitely an amateur blogger in every respect.

I recently started a blog where I share my spiritual walk experiences (and stumbles) with whomever is interested. I do this in the hope that others may profit from the lessons I have learned as I walk with the Lord along the "narrow way".

I have included a compendium of resources in my blog that have helped me and feel that these can also help those who wish to enter into a closer walk with Jesus or are having life problems where they can dig into the Word of God, meditate, or read inspirational articles.

My on-line name is Bartimaeus also known as B.R.Timeo. The blog I started in February is accessed as follows: http://quietplace4prayer.wordpress.com .

I would very much appreciate your consideration of my membership request.

Bartimaeus.

PS: In my blog I address the reason as to why I am using a pseudonym.

Michelle: Amateur Catholic

Dear Amateur Catholic,

I am definitely and Amateur Amateur. I pretty much have no idea what I am doing. I am only 26 but have resisted a lot of internet related things until two days ago when I started a blog. I still have dial-up if that tells you anything. My husband and I actually used to make fun of bloggers (please forgive me!). Now he is making fun of Me! I'm not a very good writer and I usually don't have anything that interesting to say. Please visit my blog at http://catholic-housewife.blogspot.com. Have mercy on me and let me be a member of the B-Team!

Sincerely,

Michelle Friedman

Christopher - Amateur Catholic

Dear Amateurs,

originally, my blog was meant to be a photo-journal of my daughter and I making a pilgrimage to all of of the Catholic churches in Austin, TX. Soon, it began to morph. It turned into a general family photo site. And then I started adding some writing. Then came some favorite things. Before I knew it, I was adding prayers for the Pope. Now, heaven help me, it takes all my will to NOT post what's on my mind. I need to be justified! Please, admit me to your confraternity and authorize me the use of your badge!
