Message from John Mallon

John Mallon is trying to assemble an email list of Blogs in the English speaking world, especially in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the Philippines. He is currently working as Contributing Editor for Inside the Vatican magazine, doing media relations for Human Life International, and assisting at the Envoy Institute in a promotional capacity. He has two degrees in theology and frequently has items of interest to Catholic Bloggers worldwide. With 25 years of experience in the Catholic Press, he has found that major secular outlets are often closed to these messages. If you have or know of Blogs that would be interested in receiving press releases and other pertinent materials for your Blogs, he would very much appreciate getting a mailing list of these blogs for this purpose. This is not spam. Anyone not wishing to receive these materials will be removed from the list immediately upon request. Catholic Blogs are absolutely critical for spreading credible information on the Church. This mailing list could serve as a News Agency supplying news and other information to Catholic Blogs.

It is absolutely maddening trying to harvest emails off of Blogs, where people won’t post their emails. He is only interested in people who want to receive these messages, not bothering anyone.

Book Discussion: Sacramentum Caritatis

I believe it is most important to start our book discussion on something that is most in line with our mission and what could be better than the apostolic exhortation of the Holy Father on the Eucharist as the Source and Summit of the Church’s life and mission- Sacramentum Caritatis.  I invite you to attend our first meeting this Sunday, March 30, 2008 at the Chapel of San Lorenzo Ruiz, 378 Broome Street, NYC, after the 12:30 Mass.
