In dialog with Mike Aquilina of The Way of the Fathers fame we have come up with a cunning plan.
With this post I solemnly announce the foundation of a new group, the… National Association of Patristiblogging Men which shall be called NAPALM.
There are some notable bloggers on Patristic topics, or better, patristiblogggers out there. I hope they will stand and be counted.
We need a logo now!

That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

NAPALM – burning out the underbrush of modern theology to see the doctrine of the Church with deadly clarity.
I love the smell of NAPALM in the morning, especially during the Office of Readings.
A logo for NAPALM, hmmmmm. Polycarp in the flames, but not consumed.
Father: Might not “Natural” or “Neoclassical” or “Neo-Historical” or “Neologistical” or “Neo-Orthodox” or “Neo-Platonic” or “Neo-Scholastic” or ______ work better?
You wouldn’t want to have your new organization founder over bitter disagreements as to membership eligibility. “National” seems a bit too limiting.
I won’t touch the word “Men” right now but the word “Magistrate” does come to mind.
Oh, no! That was my nickname for NPM (the OCP crowd-you know, burning up liturgical music with HaugenHaas).
I’ll have to re-orient my thinking now.
Dear Father,
Here’s my application for membership in NAPALM:

The Rosary Blog idea might be something a group of NAPALMers could take over: “Writings of popes, saints and the fathers of the church on the mysteries and prayers of the Rosary.”
Cheers –
Bill in the vast prairies of central Illinois
Padre,
Padre Z, Would you be kind enough to drop me a line at my e-mail address? Grazie. Don Marco ocist@sbcglobal.net

But I thought they used Greek fire back then?

Oh, and are we talking Patristiblogging Men as a translation of “vir” or of “homo”?
