And we’re the ones also who bring the sad news that those who some people view as heros, aren’t:)
Vox Nova- Voice of he new?
I’m guessing the idea is it’s in latin ? 🙂
Love your blog as always,
p.s. in your opinion, where do you stand on the Novas order, let’s get those comments 🙂
Or better yet- use the word Tridentine (Of Trent), or Latin novas order- I wonder if its discussed in facebook by the many camps, or if they just pick it up in search engines? Or if they are your usual audience- better yet are posts on comments supporting Aquinas on the view that French kissing outside of marriage is lust, and therefore the substance of Mortal sin:)
I’ve seen some very angry people comment on those on forums:)

The GK Chesterton factor is enough to bring tears to the eyes… One of my kids is totally getting Chesterton as a middle name.. *tear* I love that dude…
I think “vox nova” is “new voice” if I correctly guess “vox” to be a feminine noun. And I think Novus Ordo is discussed somewhere on Facebook, but they limit how many groups you can join, and I think I have about 20 or more Catholic ones, so I’m not going to look.

Apparently I don’t scream often enough about Doug Kmiec. If he’d blown a few saves for the Mets this year, I’d be all up on that.

Hello, all–
“Vox Nova” is the name of a blog that aims to feature a group Catholic bloggers from all sides of the political spectrum, writing on political issues and their implications for the Church.
Needless to say, the pro-Obama authors on Vox Nova give a lot of more conservative bloggers fits.
Mr. Archbold is making a very funny joke, if you’ve been reading Mark Shea.
In Christ,

“Vox Nova” is a colossal waste of time!

You forgot to list discussions good Church music – or the lack thereof (can you say Marty Haugan?)

Guilty on #9 & #5. I hate being predictable, but I must admit this is a very good list!

What about our real REAL REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH CHRIST AND HOW WE LOVE OTHERS?
WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH MENTIONING the popular person there?
I don’t have any of those things. I don’t care what others think.
This election will be over in November but God will be forever.

“4) The title of the blog is not “Vox Nova” (See Rule 4)”
Thank God — somebody gets it!
Squash the Vox Novan Heresy!
