Why Do some Catholic Blogs Talk about Sports?

First it is fun and perhaps attracts a larger audience that might take a look at all this other Catholic Stuff.

Second, we all know the Saints no doubt take a big interest in Sports- Especially LSU and LA Tech , the New Orleans Saints(of course), and the Cubs.

Third- The Succesor of the Apostle Peter said Sports are great. In fact many Popes have. Chad is not enough blog found this great quote from Pope Pius the XII.

Sport, properly directed, develops character, makes a man courageous, a generous loser, and a gracious victor; it refines the senses, gives intellectual penetration, and steels the will to endurance. It is not merely a physical development then. Sport, rightly understood, is an occupation of the whole man, and while perfecting the body as an instrument of the mind, it also makes the mind itself a more refined instrument for the search and communication of truth and helps man to achieve that end to which all others must be subservient, the service and praise of his Creator.– Pope Pius XII,Sport at the Service of the SpiritJuly 29, 1945
