The
50th Christian Carnival is up at Mediasoul. There are three post hoc categories,
“Most Wonderful Gifts”, “From Passion to Action”, and “New
Year/Old Year”. Stacy got the name of my blog wrong and assumed Ales Rarus
was also my pseudonym (perhaps it should be), but she did a fantastic job overall
on a difficult task (almost 40 submissions!). Go check it out!

The
49th Christian Carnival is up at Patriot Paradox. It’s the Christmas edition.
Nick Queen tied the posts together using bits of A Charlie Brown Christmas
and It’s a Wonderful Life. Go check it out! 🙂

[From Yahoo, member of a race of brutes in Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift.]
I’ve had several conversations with random Yahoo users over IM. I don’t seek them out. They seek me out. There seem to be a lot of rather friendly and chatty folks using that service. I don’t blow them off because one of the people I’ve spoken to turned her life around – away from promiscuity and drug use – and I think I had a part in making that happen. Just a few minutes ago, I had a much less pleasant encounter.
A woman propositioned me for cybersex, something that hasn’t happened since my days on IRC (when I was still an undergraduate). I tried to change the subject, rather than just ignore her. I hoped that maybe I could witness the gospel to her. She just continued with the filth. Perhaps she was really just a bot designed to lure people into buying porn at some website. Anyhow, I had to ignore her/it. I really hope this doesn’t happen again.
I have a suggestion for the next Catholic Carnival theme. Jollyblogger (the nice Protestant fellow who first inspired in the me the strong desire for a carnival for Catholics) is calling for submissions for the second Carnival of the Reformation. I think we should focus CathCarn #9 on that topic and submit our entire carnival as an entry to theirs. They might not accept it, but if they did, it might generate good dialogue.
If you agree, email Jay and let him know. If you want to host it, even better.
Update: This never happened, but I still think it might be a good idea to try sometime.
The
8th Catholic Carnival is up at Living Catholicism. The post hoc theme is “Faith,
Hope, and Charity”. The
48th Christian Carnival is up at Parableman. Jeremy “Parableman” Pierce
went all-out with a voluminous post hoc theme based on his favorite sci-fi shows.
Go check them out!
