The Catholic Perspective

The Focus Blog (The Catholic Perspective)

Wednesday, May 28, 2008

Welcome, this is my first focused post. In the past I wrote about random topics that have occurred in my life. Today I have decided to focus my blog to illustrate my identity as a catholic. My old posts can be found in the journal section, as well as, off topic rants that I will have from time to time. What people will find in this blog is multiple ideas that focus from a Catholic Perspective. Why Catholic? Why call myself the Catholic Chump?

Lets begin why I am focusing my blog about my catholic values, my own questions, and criticisms. For the longest time, I have seen myself to be very open to all types of religions, and still am, but for the longest time did nothing really to pursue my faith as a catholic. In the last few years after graduating I found that talking and understanding the world as a catholic was important. I was a Life guide at Purdue for two years and learned more than I taught. After graduating I found myself participating more with the Knights of Columbus and listening to the catholic channel on Sirius Radio. My favorite show being the Catholic Guy (Waz up Lino!), since it is the show I listen to when I am driving back from work. In this blog, I will express my own views from a catholic perspective. Presenting articles, books, main stream media, and random blogs that make me think of how it relates to my own catholic identity.

As a cradle catholic, I will refer to myself as the catholic chump. Why you still ask, because I know that I have no formal training in theology and the last catholic class I had formally was in 8th grade. If in this blog I raise or am presented with a question I will answer it best I can, but also present that question to my local father mike or ask it on shows such as the Catholic guy.

In the last few months of listening to my own heart and listening to people such as The Catholic Guy got me to think of my life in a whole new way and that is why I am focusing my blog. I figure with Marleen McMurrary gone I can take her role in blog form asking questions that may be obvious to people like Lino and Lou. I will also talk about controversial topics that as an American Catholic I think about all the time. I will update this blog every Friday or Saturday at the minimum. If your interested in my just random rants check out my journal section.
