Amateur Catholic

We don't write books or do speaking tours.
In fact, we barely do our jobs.
-We're the B-Team of Catholic Bloggers-

The B-Team Info

This is the home of the Amateur Catholic® bloggers - or as we like to refer to ourselves, the B-team. We don't write books or do speaking tours. In fact, we barely do our jobs. That's not to say we're unambitious though... You see, this coalition is just the second phase our blogoshpere conquest. We suppose you could think of us as amateur crusaders too.

Membership will not bring you any money, perks, notoriety, or prestige - but you will get the privilege of proudly displaying the B-team badge on your blog! Lucky you, huh?

Your Amateur Hosts

amateurcatholic @ gmail.com

If you are hosting a conference, parish function, or some other event and can not afford the exorbitant fees typically associated with a Professional Catholic®, please contact one of our members. We like to hear ourselves talk just as much as the Professional Catholics® do, we just don't charge you for it. But hey give us a meal, free beer, and a designated driver, and we'll speak about breaking the Da Vinci Code or anything else you might care to hear about.


The B-Team badge is copryright 2006, The B-Team Bloggers®. Of course, we're Amateur Catholics®, so if you use the badge without permission (enrolled membership), we won't hunt you down and make you cough up your hard-earned bucks. Just have fun with it and maybe buy us a beer next time you're in town.

Amateur operations

I thought I'd take a moment to mention a few things. First, with these latest additions we now have a whopping 158 registered B-Team blogs. We still receive from 2 to 5 new applications every week. Who would have ever thought there were so many self-deprecating amatuers in such a relatively small community. It must be a Catholic thing, huh?

I also want to apologize to those folks who have found themselves waiting for three to four weeks to get posted. It stinks and I'm sorry. For future applicants, let me explain. In a perfect world I would check this email account multiple times a day and as soon as an application comes in check out the site and post the application. That's in a perfect world - or at least a professional world. In the amateur world I check the account once or twice a week and after four to five apps have accumulated I wait for an evening - usually on a weekend - when I can post all (or most) of them in one sitting. I have some obligations outside of the typical family/work realm and my free time is generally limited to 5 to 20 minute blocks of time. Of course, if I can't get it in on the weekend then you're stuck waiting another week or more. I know that's an amateurish way to operate, but would you expect anything less ...err ...more?

Anyway, I'd like to again welcome the latest inductees and remind you all to install the B-Team badge (and blogroll if you choose) if you haven't already.

This has, is, and always will be, for those who are members and those who administrate this site, a labor of love. Remember the root word of amateur. That is the perspective all of us have.

And unfortunately for you, Rick, your co-hosts have been absolutely lax about helping you out in administering this blog.

I apologize for that.

No worries, Jay. I just don't like leaving people hanging a long time - not that it probably matters to most, but you know...

Labor of love, Ron? I like that! It sounds a lot better than an idiot armed with a computer and Internet access. ;)
