PrayTell: The Liberal Catholic Establishment's Contribution to the Blogosphere?

PrayTell contributor unhappy with new translation
A reader of this blog, whose comments I sometimes publish and sometimes, do not, because quite often he is lacking in anything we understand by Christian charity, has drawn my attention to a new blog called PrayTell.

I do not like the look of it one bit. For instance, see pictured left a cartoon with the Holy Father's face photoshopped onto Humpty Dumpty (quite bizarre!) as it mocks the new translation of the Mass over which liberals are squealing! It is entitled, 'Pope fails own Latin test?'

Contributors include Priests and lay people, many, I assume who are 'theologians'. It is always important to remember that there are many atheists who claim to be 'theologians' because they've got the degree. There are also those who are Catholics but who dissent from Church teaching who are 'theologians'. I am not, in any way, referring to the former theologian, now author discussed in the comments section in the post below, as I don't know anything about him aside from what I have been told. I'll look into it and perhaps do a blogpost on that issue at a later date.

Paul Inwood, who is without exception every Catholic's most beloved liturgical composer, the saviour of the music of the Mass, contributes, as Damian Thompson recently reported. Another post is entitled 'Who's up for a Dispute on the Eucharist?', as if there is anything to debate. The Eucharist is the Precious Body and Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ. What is there to debate?

I get the general impression that it is a forum for liberal, dissenting Catholics. The ironic thing, of course, is that the website does not manage, in any way discernible, to be able to communicate the Catholic Faith, the Faith for which Martyrs died, the Faith established by Christ upon St Peter and His Apostles, because none appear to be able to agree on what the Catholic Faith is. Ultimately, that is the saddest thing of all...
