Okay – here are some worthy links for you. Remember – I’ve got the delicious feed over there on the right, updated several times a day with random reads <\/a>(and yes, I have tried to make it collect them as an automated blog post – but to no avail. I have no idea what I’m doing wrong…), but these are some that merit special mention:
\nThe Miller Sisters Cafe<\/a> – a group of three young (as in young adult) Catholic sisters (as in biological sisters!) from Virginia who not only have a great website with fresh content but also an inspired idea for witness – “A Gathering Place for Christ-Centered Sisterhood”<\/p>\n

Host a Miller Sisters Cafe in your local community.
\nWho is it for? <\/strong>The program can be tailored to either teen girls or young women.
\nWhat is it?<\/strong> A fast-paced, informative, two-hour program with music performances, praise and worship, talks, and videos, applying eternal truths to contemporary issues. As an example, consider Mother Teresa\u2019s simple but profound response when asked about our ultimate purpose, \u201cWe were made to love and to be loved.\u201d Only with such deeper truths as a starting point can topics like dating and entertainment be fruitfully explored.
\nWho is performing and presenting?<\/strong> Nineteen-year-old Marie Miller leads the program. Marie is a recording artist, a devoted student of Christian thought, and an experienced performer and presenter. She is supported by her sisters Carol Lynn and Tess and by subject matter experts via pre-recorded videos.
\n
\nWhere does it take place?<\/strong> At a local church, school, university, theatre, hotel, coffee shop, restaurant, or any other gathering place that can accommodate a live performance.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Lori at Lori’s Pilgrimage is beginning a multi-part examination of the death of John Paul I. She explains:<\/a><\/p>\n

Tuesday, August 26, is the 30th<\/sup> anniversary of his election. I\u2019ve started the first in a series of posts in a sort of \u201cexpose\u201d debunking the scandalous theories about his supposed murder or near suicide(!) by authors David Yallop and John Cornwell respectively. <\/span>They are excerpts from a book on this pope that I have been working on for some time. <\/span>Since the books I mentioned are full of such lies, I want people to know the truth.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Longtime reader Kevin H from Toledo passes on this article about Joe Eszterhas’ book about his conversion.<\/a>
\nFr. Phillip Powell, O.P. is in Rome and back to blogging again. His post on “Behind the Scenes: Religious Life” is pretty much a must-read.<\/a>
\nSusan Stabile has a wonderful, thoughtful blog…and has podcasts, too!<\/a>
\nThe faculty of John Paul the Great University in San Diego has a group blog.<\/a>
\nThe “RCIA Blog” has great resources for all of you folks involved in RCIA<\/a>
\nSome of you may be aware of this, but the KC(MO) diocesan paper, the Catholic Key has been running an excellent expose of the “Bodies Revealed” exhibit – start reading the three posts on their blog dealing with this here. <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

She attended Knoxville Catholic High School, then the University of Tennessee where she majored in history.

Amy has written columns for Our Sunday Visitor and Catholic News Service at times over the past twenty years. Her articles have been published in venues ranging from Our Sunday Visitor to the New York Times to Commonweal. She has written 17 books. 18, if you included the as yet tragically unpublished novel.
