Any Other Catholic Dads Out There?

Some of the guys online were duking it out about masculinity in the Catholic blogosphere - I am not so interested in that debate, but I have noticed that while there is a substantial community of Catholic Mom blogs (many are quite good), there isn’t really any cohesion for us dads. So I wanted to kick out an idea and see what you think.

Is there any interest in creating a new listing of Catholic Dads? We would reference and visit each other’s sites, have some sort of icon to post, you get the idea. It would be a great way to identify and support those of us who occupy a pretty important role in the life of our families, the Church, and society at large. To tell you the truth, I’d like to read more Catholic dad related stuff.

What do you think? Any interest? Any ideas for a name? Maybe something with St. Joe. Shoot me a comment.

I’m interested. I’ve got graphics skills if we need a logo or badge for use on our web pages. I’ll start thinking about a name.

As grown up in Norway,catholisme is as strange for most here as islam. But I used to spend my vacations in southern Europe for several decades, and also in latin-america, and have had, (real intellectual C friends, I do think in many ways’ it’s more sense than the scandinavian protestants, but on the other hand, to old fashioned regarding “objective” facts.

For me, there is one “god”. That is Respect.

Think about it:
Where did the different religion orginate? How was/is the circumstances to live there, in a deseant society - for all to survive, with respect? Acceptance?
No talk behind “backs” — No advantages involved. No envy.

PS. I’m far from commy. I do respect hard working people. I do not respect people that only demands. But I’ll share what I can with people for one reason or another are disabled. Comprendre?
