Blogrolling
I've added a few blogs to the rolls on left and right, including the IWF's Inkwell blog, which I maintain should be called Charlottes' Web. It's obviously not an exhuastive list. There are scads of great blogs out there and it's a shame none of us have time to read them all.
One new blog that merits your attention, in particular is All Things Made New, in which an anonymous blogger shares his faith journey.
Along the same lines, Eutychus Fell offers good thoughts on his own stance towards the Church, as another on the journey here.
I come to the Catholic Church ready to accept the Catechism. I am beyond any rebellious stage in my life and have seen, first hand, the way the Methodist Church bends to breaking under the modern wind while Catholicism seems only to sway. I come ready to pray to the Catholic Saints for intercession, I come ready to learn from their lives because Methodism has no such backdrop to learn from or to use as examples in how to live. Methodism came from Catholicism and the Methodist Church has thrown away 1500 years of living history. I come ready to stand up, politically and personally, for the teachings of the Church. What is my alternative?

As Chesterton so succinctly put it, "What else is there?"

Sorry....previous quote wasn't Chesterton, it was Walker Percy.

Two tools every serious blogger needs IMNSHO.
One lets you give a nod of appreciation to blogs you find interesting and worthwhile even if they don't have an RSS feed and even if you can't get to them everyday. The other helps you to peruse all of your favorite blogs with a feed whenever you feel like it, at a glance!!

Just a point. Methodism did not come from Catholicism. Methodism split off from the Anglican Church. Some aspects of Methodist theology, such as Wesley's theory of prevenient grace, the commitment to the pursuit of holiness, and the existence of episcopal leadership actually place Methodism closer to Catholicism than some other Protestant denominations.
I hope that Mr. Fell does not believe he needs to leave his rich Methodist heritage behind to enter the Catholic Church. Catholic means "universal" and the entry into the Church of those formed in the Methodist tradition can only enrich that universality.

Oh, please, with the "universality" to which the Methodist tradition contributes. So do the Moody Blues.
Been through all kinds of Protestant "traditions", crossed the Tiber, and embrace the Church founded by Jesus Christ-- the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.
