Catholic Guys

For the past few months, there has been a group of 3 girls that have taken the Catholic blogging world by storm and injecting wit, intelligence, femininity, beauty, and fierceness into their blogs. These girls refer to themselves as the Bright Maidens, and rightfully so.

From their Facebook description:

We three are from the oft-mentioned, widely-speculated upon demographic of young, twenty-something Catholic women. We're here to dispel the myths and misconceptions- please join us for the discussion!

They are super active on twitter, do a twice monthly themed posting topic, and are featured on all sorts of blogs left and right. While their posts are fantastic examples of the young Catholic feminine mind, they are in need of some counter-part voices. That is where we step in. On Twitter, they utilize the hashtags #cathsorority & #brightmaidens. They have been bugging several of us guys for weeks now to step up and do the same. We have chatted about the idea on #cathdudes (not the best name, I know) and haven't solidified a group of folks to do it yet. So that is why I am posting on my blogging and hoping I can drum up 2-3 more guys who are willing to do this.

The commitment is really just a twice monthly posting on a topic that we choose. We can sometimes join with the #Brightmaidens if we choose, but the point is to do our own thing as well. What they do is post a list of topics and then every other week, all post on the same day about the topic for that week. There isn't much to it.

So, if you are young(-ish or at heart), Catholic, Male, and would like to post every other week according to a pre-specified (by us) topic, please let me know! I have a few names that we floated around, but I am willing to listen to suggestions. The Bright Maidens are behind a male venture so, don't think we are stealing any thunder, I think we will only add to their awesomeness.

Please let me know if you are interested. I can answer any questions for you, but understand that this isn't a huge commitment, and it looks to be really fun. If you don't want to necessarily commit to the "Group", please stay tuned and think about writing on some of the topics that interest you. The Bright Maidens open their topics up to anyone that wants to participate, so consider at least writing on those topics that interest you. Looking forward to getting this group going...
