Hey guys! I love the web (if you haven’t noticed), and it’s only getting better and better every day. But I can’t keep track of everything. That’s why I need your help to find out which Catholic web applications out there are the best of the best. I have already listed a few in the side bar of my blog (i.e. flockNote, 4Marks, CatholicNewsLive etc.), but I am sure that there are many more out there that are just dying to be found.
There are only a few stipulations: The web app needs to be Catholic, it has to be an actual web application (i.e. a social network, web desktop, not a blog), and it has to be your favorite. Other than that, it’s fair game.
To cast your vote, all you have to do is enter your favorite Catholic app in the comment section of this post. All the votes will be tallied up in the near future, and the top 5 winners will be announced. So if you have a favorite Catholic web app, help get it promoted here!

November 4, 2009 at 1:08 pmYeah, CatholicCulture.com is formerly Petersnet.Net. They give excellent reviews of Catholic websites — both in terms of fideity, usability and resources. CatholicQandA.com actually has a great review from them!My votes are:CatholicCulture.com Site ReviewSCBorromeo.org Cateshism SearchNewAdvent.org Church Father's CollectionDecentFilms.com Movie ReviewsUSCCB.org Online New American Bible

November 4, 2009 at 1:14 pmSQPN.com has a great collection of Catholic Podcasts, as well.Phatmass.com also has a great message board for Catholic Religious and Discerning Religious. They also have a great collection of VERIFIED Church scholars who are regularly available to ask questions from on the message boards.

November 4, 2009 at 2:47 pmHaha, no problem! I had a feeling that MyCatholic would be one that people liked. Haven't seen it used too much anymore though.

November 4, 2009 at 2:50 pmOooh, didn't know that. Yeah, I'm glad CatholicCulture was mentioned. The owner of CatholicQandA.com is a stud. He had a good apologetics team on that site too! =PLove the Summa on New Advent.

November 4, 2009 at 2:52 pmSQPN is a good network to find some good Catholics. Just joined up recently. Phatmass has grown A LOT. I am pretty active there now. I love the philosophical debates there, even though I am a lightweight compared to a lot of people out there.
