1. Father Z: What Does the Prayer Really Say?

Fr. Z explaining the liturgy and the glory of bird feeders.

Father Z is the premiere site to be introduced to liturgical nuances, receive priestly commentary on the news, learn Latin and view photos of Father Z’s bird feeders and what he had for dinner last night. Easily one of the most popular Catholic blogs, the good father posts multiple times per day and normally has a critique ready for whatever is pulsing through the Catholic blogosphere. Without question, however, the main gravity of his blog comes from drawing people into a proper and clear understanding of the Catholic liturgy. In a time were so many of the faithful are either non-educated or ill-educated, Father Z’s daily commentary and catechesis is much needed and very appreciated.

Drawing often from St. Thomas Aquinas and the Church Fathers, the Canterbury Tales has gained a reputation for brevity and substance. Taylor Marshall posts have a strong catechetical character to them, and often take the time to show the deep truths of basic and simple Catholic teachings.

Catholic Radio

The growth of Catholic radio received a big boost in 1996 when Mother Angelica made EWTN’s program feed available for free to any station which wanted to air it.  WDEO (Ann Arbor), KIHM (Reno), WQOP (Jacksonville) and WRYT (St Louis) were the first to take Mother up on her offer.  They were also the first to be inundated with requests for information and assistance from others interested in establishing a Catholic station.

Catholic radio is crawling out of infancy.  Over 250 stations across the United States now broadcast full or part time Catholic programming.  This is an increase from only a handful a few years ago. 

Here are some Catholic radio stations that stay true to the teaching of our Holy Mother Church:
