Hi, and welcome to another edition of Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. We are a group of bloggers who gather once each week to share out best posts. We are all Catholic and blog at least somewhat about Catholic things; some do so exclusively, others only periodically. All are welcome to participate here.
To join in the fun, go to your blog and create a post titled Sunday Snippets--A Catholic Carnival. In that post describe and link to any posts you want to share with the rest of us. Also put in a link to this post. Then come back here, and sign Mr. Linky and give us a link to your post. Finally, go visit other people's posts, and leave comments! Some folks who don't post often have asked if they could, rather than creating a special "Sunday Snippets" post, just link their original post to Mr. Linky. That's ok, if your original post includes a link back here; since the idea is to share our posts and readers with each other. Encourage your readers to join us too.
If you want a weekly reminder to post, please subscribe to our yahoogroup.
I do a semi-regular feature called "From My Reader" in which I link to posts that catch my eye while I am going through my Google Reader. A couple of them this week were about things Catholic.
I read to my five year old on a regular basis but rarely review kids books unless they are sent to me for that purpose. However, one she brought home from school was good enough to share, so I did. It is a Christmas ABC book.
A novel about a haunted rectory may be pushing the definition of "Catholic" however, I enjoyed the book and thought you might too. The author, Katherine Valentine, has a new book featured on the Catholic Mom.com website.
May you and yours have a very merry and blessed Christmas!
Too bad about the Saints, but I thought you meant about the blog. Whew! Thanks for hosting RAnn!

Since I'm writing a book on Advent, I'm always interested to see what people post on the subject. Last week I had my "novels" critique group look at my book, since it's what I have to share. What I discovered is that non-Catholics consider Advent and Christmas to be one and the same. I find this disheartening. Anybody else?
ReplyDeleteKathleen,
ReplyDeleteIt may be heartening from the standpoint of an opportunity to evangelize. The ignorance among non-Catholics and Catholics as well just means our world is deep in ignorance of salvation history, so this may be a great way to help you with your book. Now you know more questions people need answered.
Sorry, Kathleen, my computer took me away from the identification section before I could leave my name. I'm not anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
