New Political Blog: American Catholic

Today is the first day of operation for a new political blog that you should definitely check out: American Catholic.

Here is the description of the blog that I received from the blog's founder, Tito Edwards:

I have assembled twelve bright, engaging, thoughtful, and faithful Catholics to blog on American politics from a Catholic perspective. This new blog is called American Catholic.

We hope to share our Catholic faith in the public square of politics and culture for the betterment of the common good.

... We hope (I want) to make a major impact in the public discussion of politics not only in the Catholic blogosphere, but in the Political blogosphere as well. We have answered the call from the Second Vatican Council to positively engage the world with the teachings of the Catholic Church.

I have a number of friends contributing to American Catholic, and I'm looking forward to their having a big impact on the discussion of politics, public policy, and the common good in the Catholic blogosphere.
