The Associated Press Looks at Conservative Catholic Bloggers!

See Catholic loyalists take to their blogs to defend teachings.

Thomas Peters who was interviewed has a somewhat negative take on it. See Associated Press claim: “Catholic loyalists take to their blogs to defend teachings”

I think Peters makes some good points. I think the article perhaps focused on the politics (secular) too much. In reality the "Orthodox" Catholic blog sphere is quite diverse in that department. While it trends toward the conservative side there are a lot of factions. Also I think it is the combined effect of regular "mom and pop blogs that are significant.

Further the ANGLO SPHERE worldwide interaction aspect of Orthodox Catholic blogs is important and maybe will be looked at more in the future. This becoming more and more significant. We saw this in the Pope's Australia trip and then big time when he went to the UK.
