The call for liberalism has not drowned conservative voices within the Catholic Church. This voice of restrain exists online through conservative Catholic blogs. Information posted on these platforms defends the traditional stand on issues, dogma and rites within the Vatican based church. Most writers are religious though there are a few members of the laity. They handle a host of issues from a traditional perspective.
Offerimus Tibi Domine- the blog is updated by Fr. Henry Simon whose stand is that faithful must not be directly involved in the performance of the liturgy for it to be inclusive. There are many avenues of contributing to the Paschal Mystery. If everyone plays his or her role effectively, the liturgy will be fulfilling and colorful.
One of the most controversial posts by Fr. Henry was when he seemed to point at the intervention of the Holy Spirit in allowing Pope John Paul II to remain on the throne for long. It ensures that Martini did not become the pope because of his liberal nature. This paved way for Pope Benedict the Sixteenth, a conservative, to succeed Pope John Paul.
Sense of the Sacred- Fr. Jojo uses this platform to exam the idea of sacred spaces, time and life. He offers explanations on symbols and their value in Christian life. He takes the same sacred approach to explain and understand emerging issues in the society.
Fr. Jojo is a defender of conservative stands taken by cardinals and bishops. In his opinion, ordinary people are unable to understand them because the mind of God is different from that of man. He insists that what is considered progressive is slowly staining the world.
The Hermeneutic of Continuity- this is the work of a sacramental theologian called Fr. Tim Finigan. He is a respected lector at St. Johns Seminary and other such institutions. He also lectures on dogma and has been defending the traditional church since he was ordained in 1984.
In a comment about the tomato debate in Pakistan, The Hermeneutic of Continuity termed the scenario as a moment to demonstrate faith. He urged Christians in that area to consider it a moment of pride. The fact that tomatoes were associated with Christianity should make them proud.
Meeting Christ in the Liturgy- Fr. Kelvin is an avid writer, an attribute that could have motivated him to start this blog. With over a million followers over the ten years of existence, it remains top among related blogs. Fr. Kelvin is a former chaplain with the US Navy with a Masters of Art in Sacred Theology. He was once stationed in Iraq.
Fr. Kelvin pays a lot of attention to daily readings. He tries to relate them to daily life and emerging global and social challenges. His take on Cardinal Dolan and his Pro Life arguments catapulted him to limelight. Fr. Kelvin insists that human life remains in the hands of God and must not be altered because of conditions outside the body.
Fr. Blakes Blog- this platform is articulate and thoroughly researched. The brevity of Fr. Blake is admirable as a defender of traditional Catholic rites and dogma. He contends that while dissenting voices are welcome, their contribution must not be considered as valuable to cause change.
