To be honest, this is something of a problem area for me. I don't really "get" Our Lady-- I don't mean that in any irreverent way. I wish it was otherwise and I don't dispute or dissent from anything the Church teachers about her, or the emphasis placed upon her, but she doesn't have the hold upon my imagination that she does for others (and that she should have, indeed).<br /><br />I have sometimes thought of writing a long review of Mark Shea's Mary: Mother of the Son trilogy, which is one of my favourite books and which addresses many of the mental blocks I have myself. But even having read this several times, I feel rather awkward about Marian devotion. I do hope that this will change in the future.Maolsheachlannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09406722311993627528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-45757100489078801852013-09-24T14:50:59.781-07:002013-09-24T14:50:59.781-07:00You are an outstanding blogger (which is to say, w...You are an outstanding blogger (which is to say, writer). <br /><br />An observation: I am a relative latecomer and also an intermittent web surfer so I may have missed something, but you don't seem to blog much about the Marian aspect of Catholicismmickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13984879719516554591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7091756463128804432.post-48429750803041249122013-09-23T08:31:57.496-07:002013-09-23T08:31:57.496-07:00I agree with you that "the mere existence of ...I agree with you that "the mere existence of a Catholic blog is useful in some ways"-- that is how I justify this one whenever I'm feeling apologetic about it!<br /><br />The bloggers I like most are:<br /><br />Edward Feser<br />Peter Hitchens<br />Fr.

The first blog I ever started following was the Catholic Knight who lives somewhere in the Southern states of America. A lot of the time he's talking about Catholic stuff, other times he talks about Southern stuff, but it's still quite intriguing. Learning more about the bloggers you follow is interesting.<br /><br />Also, I would argue that every Catholic blog is useful in some way. The mere existence of a Catholic blog is a good support in my opinion. It shows that there are like-minded people, and it's good for keeping spirits up.<br /><br />Thanks again for the blog Maolsheachlann.Antainenoreply@blogger.com
