Rumbling in the Pews at St Blog's

From time to time, the "progressive" wing of the Catholic press starts whining about "McCarthyism" whenever someone starts setting up a litmus test at their expense.

Apparently, one of them has learned to live with it. "I have started a new blog called Index Blogorum Prohibitorum, which will take note of Catholic blogs that are uncommonly rude and/or bigoted..." I assume Nathan is not referring to himself, let alone the pattern already established on his blog Fides, Spes, Caritas for not getting his facts right.

Dom Bettinelli is upset that he hasn't been picked on yet. Don't worry, big fella. As one of the regular nominees for the "Catholic Blog Awards," you'll get your chance to duke it out with him soon enough. It's guys like me that aren't on the celebrity circuit who will be left alone.

Besides, the guy's using made-up Latin words like "blogorum." I could take him.
