Five Popular Conservative Catholic Blogs Worth The Time

By Katina Brady


Conservatives within the Catholic Church remain vocal despite the existence of liberal voices allover the world. The top conservative Catholic blogs capture the spirit of restrain as the wave of change sweeps through the church. These platforms give information based on the foundations of this Vatican based church as it was centuries ago. They are run by religious and the laity and cover diverse issues from a unique perspective.

Offerimus Tibi Domine- the person behind the blog is Fr. Henry Simon. He advocates for the faithful to stick to their assigned roles in the liturgy instead of seeking direct involvement. In his opinion, the Paschal Mystery has enough duties for all without the need to do what the religious are doing. It is the performance of own duty that makes the celebrations colorful and fulfilling.

Fr. Henry once used the Offerimus Tibi Domine platform to show the hand of God in preventing Martini from ascending to papacy. In his opinion, John Paul II lived long enough to allow Martini to get old and be overtaken by time. This paved way for Benedict VI to take over. This remains a controversial post to-date.

Sense of the Sacred- Fr. Jojo uses this platform to exam the idea of sacred spaces, time and life. He offers explanations on symbols and their value in Christian life. He takes the same sacred approach to explain and understand emerging issues in the society.

Fr. Jojo is a defender of conservative stands taken by cardinals and bishops. In his opinion, ordinary people are unable to understand them because the mind of God is different from that of man. He insists that what is considered progressive is slowly staining the world.

The Hermeneutic of Continuity- this is the work of a sacramental theologian called Fr. Tim Finigan. He is a respected lector at St. Johns Seminary and other such institutions. He also lectures on dogma and has been defending the traditional church since he was ordained in 1984.

The Hermeneutic of Continuity attracted the attention of the world when Christians in Pakistan were ridiculed over tomatoes. In his response, he termed this as a saintly act that should elicit pride. Fr. Tim is a great defender of sacraments and dogma as practiced by the Rome based church.

Meeting Christ in the Liturgy- It is by an accomplished writer called Fr. Kelvin. He has been running the blog for over ten years and has attracted more than a million followers. He once served in the US Navy in Iraq. He holds an MA in Sacred Theology.

Fr. Kelvin focuses mainly on daily readings and how they can shed light to the prevailing global situations. In a recent article, he answers Cardinal Dolan on Pro Life issues. According to Fr. Kelvin, the right to life remains with God regardless of the situation. No issue that is outside the body of a woman should dictate the right to life.

Fr. Blakes Blog- this platform is articulate and thoroughly researched. The brevity of Fr. Blake is admirable as a defender of traditional Catholic rites and dogma. He contends that while dissenting voices are welcome, their contribution must not be considered as valuable to cause change.
