Hi, would anyone who has a blog mind posting theirs here?

I would love to take a look at everyone's and have some criticisms of mine as well.

Rich,

I don't know if you know this or not, but I am formerly known as proud2bcatholic.

I changed my name after discovering the beauty of our traditions.

My wife and I are now parishioners of a TLM community. We are both members of the choir for our parish.

Thanks for the link, Rich. I'm interested in good Distributist sites, as I've been a little disappointed by some of the ones that I've found on the web.

As for me, I had a blog way back before blogging was cool (Fall of 2001, I think). But, I got bored with it after a couple of months and stopped.

Yes, quite a world from what we were used to, right?

Hi Bill and P2BC,

What I wanted to do is make an archive so to speak of distributist articles and writings so there will be no commentary on my part. I thought it would be good for newcomers or researchers to have a place where they could find consolidated information on the subject whether for or against.

I'm still building it, little by little and hopefully though not complete, will give a better explanation of distributism. It is true that before the idea could truly take off, WWII happened and everything changed.

There is something interesting about that time however. All these passionate hearts, influenced by Pope Leo XIII (who should be a Saint for both the Leonine prayer and truly building the pavement for social doctrine). Joseph Pearce thinks Tolkien was a distributist (he never said it, but just from his writings and since he was a G.K. Weekly subscriber) and it must have been a very exciting period to live in (both by ChesterBelloc and the Inklings). Soon I will be posting a portion of the George Bernard Shaw and Chesterton debates.

I always thought Chesterton said it right:

"[No society can survive the socialist] fallacy that there is an absolutely unlimited number of inspired officials and an absolutely unlimited amount of money to pay them." - on Socialism

"All but the hard hearted man must be torn with pity for this pathetic dilemma of the rich man, who has to keep the poor man just stout enough to do the work and just thin enough to have to do it." - on Capitalism
