1. This weeks Carnival was hosted by Joe Wetterling at Ho Kai Paulos :
   

   1. The theme of this week’s blog carnival -is “I love being Catholic!” It featured contributions from 13 Catholic Bloggers.
      The carnival starts with a theme song “I like being a Catholic” which is an embedded video from a Catholic Video Sharing Site: called lovetobecatholic.com)
   2. What is there to love about being Catholic?
      We have Love.
      Not cuddly, comfortable wuv, but real love – what C.S. Lewis once wrote “could easily be mistaken for ferocity”. Real, intense love leads us to the true meaning of worship.
      We have a mission.
      “We are called to love. Called to give. Called to hope.” In fact we have The Mission, set for us by Christ, to make disciples of all the nations.
      And from there, it needs to spread out at every moment. Being a part of the Body of Christ is not a part-time job. We are called to be All Christian, All the Time
      We have help on that mission!
      We have a loving Mother.
      Christ suffered for us, and Mary suffers with us. How can a mother not feel the pain of her children? And not reach out to help them when they need it?
      And we have a loving and just Father.
      God has every hair on our heads counted and keeps our best interests in mind, even when they aren’t how WE planned things. God loves us. We can count on that, even When Things Turn Out… Differently,
      And our God is just, even when the meaning of that is hard to grasp.

         well (it provides a way for members to socialize and interact). Just
         search for “Catholic Carnival” in the groups tab on Facebook.
         
         Also consider hosting a Carnival one week – it’s fun and rewarding
         without too much work. The Carnival is better when it travels around
         from one Catholic blog to another. For more information, just email me

Welcome to Episode 1 of the Catholic New Media Roundup. For a while, I have been pondering and planning a podcast which would celebrate the best in Catholic New Media. Catholics all over the world are using computers and the new media tools to create amazing blogs, books, websites, videos, music and most of all community. It is my plan and hope to introduce bloggers, podcasters and others in Catholic new media and provide a place for promotion and celebration in this community.

The show begins with a social media introduction. I “met up” with of the Theotokos Podcast on Catholic social networking site 4marks.com. Within a few minutes we were talking on Skype and he was sitting in as Co-Host of the show.

My other podcasts: For the Sake of the Song: Conversations with Song , A Catholic Canadian My Catholic blog and the home of the Catholic New Media Roundup

Why do a Catholic New Media Roundup?

1. To Celebrate the what’s going on in the world of Catholic Social Media.
2. To Foster Community among creators of Catholic new Media. Blogs, Music, Video, Podcasts, web resources.
3. The Bloggers are unaware of what the podcasters are doing, or the small publishers etc… ie) When I hosted the Catholic Blog Carnival I also podcasted it, and that was seen as novel.
4. To celebrate significant events in the Catholic new media community (ie 100^th show, 1000^th blog post, bloggers recognized in traditional media, etc…)
5. To showcase Catholic Resources on the web, the people who create it and how to find it.
6. To encourage others to join in the new evangelization and produce their own new media.
7. To grow in our own faith by exploring these new media resources ourselves and teaching the lovely Nancy how to use them.
8. To provide a venue for promos and news from around the Catholic interwebs. I invite podcasters and bloggers to send us promos of their sites//ministries, musicians to let us know about their upcoming concerts, CD releases etc…leave feedback on the blog at cc.ductapeguy.net by email at catholicroundup (at) gmail (dot) com or by calling 206-337-0611.
