Well, the ones in my signature for starters, not much more truly…

Saints Quotes, Prayers & Books and the new Saints’ Discussion Forums… A place for Catholic talk and mutual support, not apologetics and debates… Stop on by if the heat is too heavy here and you need a break. New places need and welcome visitors, and it’s *just *opened in beta. 😃

Audio Sancto and Sensus Tradionis, for all their great F.S.S.P. audio sermons…

I don’t frequent too many other sites frequently… There are some oldies but goodies I’ll go to, and ones like Fisheaters and OLRL as mentioned above… have a great deal of great resources. There are plenty of other good sites I go to now and then, mostly when searching for prayers and devotions as if I did not have enough to go through with all the religious books already. There’s a nice solid Catholic presence on the net, if you look in the right places.

‘By uniting themselves to the divine will, the saints have enjoyed paradise by anticipation in this life. Accustoming themselves to receive all things from the hands of God, says St. Dorotheus, the men of old maintained continual serenity of soul.’

St. Alphonsus Maria de Liguori

Yes, Angelqueen. I do visit Angelqueen regularly. It is a good forum. Good news, good discussions. It can be rough and tough at times.

Yes, the forum has some of its own problems (and can be potentially overwhelming for someone who is new to tradition), but overall, it has been a great resource, especially the links and articles.

There is Fisheaters – which in addition to the Forum has a wonderful set of resources


http://www.fisheaters.com/

For news I think Rorate Caeli cannot be beat.

rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/

Finally I think Charles A Coulombe is unusually rich and insightful, particularly if one is interested not simply in the Tradition but also the cultural and political landscape.

Shameless or not, I am also going to plug a new site with blogs from my wife and myself:Cor Jesu Sacratissimum

corjesusacratissimum.org

Where we are trying to not only defend the Tradition of the Church and foster her … But come to grips with both Secularism and New Age movement which so threaten the Tradition …

My wife and I are both converts from the New Age movement and seeing its dangers, we both blog about that. But also about the liturgy, the crisis in the Church and of course, the tradition of the Most Sacred Heart of Our Lord …

Glad to hear you liked it, Shin.

I think it yes not only laugh out loud funny, but pointing to things fillled with meaning importance and truth, like the rest of his website.
 
I have bookmarked well over two hundred Catholic sites I visit, it’s hard to pick favorites. There’s a website to help guide one through the maze of Catholic and “catholic” websites that’s been pretty reliable for me:

CatholicCulture.org, specifically

catholicculture.org/culture/reviews/

because their review of the site specifies instances of what’s good or bad regarding the reviewed site. Several posts have mentioned Fisheaters.com; they get a red arrow from
CatholicCulture for some expreseed and implied anti-Vatican II tendencies. If the site you inquire about has not been reviewed you can ask if they will review it if you have enough info about the site. Their list of green arrow sites is a good starting list. Also check out the list of links at Stevie Ray’s website catholic-convert.com:

catholic-convert.com/community/favorite-links/

Not exactly imprimatur, but better than nothing…
 
I’ve always enjoyed and used Catholic Culture’s site reviews – it’s the prime reason I visit the site, more than the news and commentary which they are focusing on more now.

Every so often I disagree with them, they are not quite traditional enough and so overly critical of some traditional sites, but at least they provide examples of why they make their review one way or another so all is well. 🙂
 
Here are a couple that I stumbled upon[ :

Boston Catholic Journal](Listen to Basic Catholic Prayers in Latin and English or Request Free CD)

Traditional Catholic

Also on the Primacy of the Pope:

**These websites, I was fortunate enough to stumble upon, and I would like to share this information.

St. Cyprian on the Church and the Papacy
St. Augustine, Pelagianism, and the Holy See “Roma locuta est, causa finita est” (Sermon 131:10)
St. Athanasius, Arianism, and the Holy See
St. John Chrysostom on the Apostle Peter
St. Jerome and Rome

Another interesting point that is made by Father Canon Francis Ripley in his book "This is The Faith : A Complete Explanation of the Catholic Faith " Chapter 18 : The Supremacy of the Pope (Part II)., page 164-166:

About the year 95 A.D., St. Clement, the third successor of St. Peter in the see of Rome, found it necessary to write to the Catholics of Corinth, telling them to receive back the bishops whom a troublesome faction among them had expelled. Throughout the letter he uses a tone of authority, which even such a staunch Protestant as Lightfoot acknowledges to be “the first step towards Papal domination.” “If any man,” says St. Clement, “should be disobedient unto the words spoken by God through us, let the, sic understand that they will entangle themselves in no slight transgression and danger . . . Render obedience to the things written by us through the Holy Ghost.” (Ep. 59:70). The following facts should be considered in regard to this Epistle of Clement:
  • Reference is made to “the good Apostles,” Peter and Paul, those pillars of the Church, martyrs, who gave such good example to the Romans.
  • The whole Epistle is an implicit manifestation of Rome’s consciousness of possession of the Primacy in the Church, for
  • a) instead of offering excuses for interfering in the affairs of the Corinthian Church, Clement begins by apologizing for his delay in writing. Unless it was his duty to write, there would be no reason for apologizing.
  • b) Clement *threatens, *as we have quoted above, and demands obedience.
  • St. John was actually alive at Ephesus at the time. If the Corinthians appealed to Rome, which was far less accessible than Ephesus, it proves that they recognized the authority of Clement over even an Apostle; if Clement’s action were spontaneous, it shows that the Church at Rome was already conscious of a superior and exceptional authority.
  • The letter was welcomed by the Catholics of Corinth, which proves that they did not think that Rome had interfered unlawfully or exceeded her power. In fact, the Corinthians put this Epistle of St. Clement on almost the same level as the Scriptures, and for a century it was read in the churches.
*The Cambridge Ancient History, *commenting on the Epistle of St. Clement, says: “The Roman community’s sense of its own importance is nevertheless unmistakable, and it finds expression in the whole tenor of the letter. Rome imparts profitable instruction to the Corinthian community and regards this as her right and her duty: but one gets the impression that the Romans would have been greatly surprised had Corinth, let us say, in similar circumstances, dispatched such a letter of admonition to Rome.” (XII, 530).
Even Bishop Lightfoot [1828-1889, bishop of Durham] had to admit that three points concerning the early Roman See are clear:
  • Our Lord certainly conferred a primacy among the Apostles on St. Peter.
  • St. Peter visited Rome and was martyred there;
  • At the end of the first century, the Roman Church held a primacy over all other churches–a primacy which ever grew and developed as the ages ran on. (Cf. Abbot Butler, *Religions of Authority *pp. 113-117).

Well, people have already listed my favourites …

Apart that is from my own 😉

Cor Jesu Sacratissimum****

A site devoted devoted not only to the Sacred Heart and Catholic tradition generally, but also the dangers of Secularism and the New Age.

(I’m an ex-New Age convert who now feels that Catholic traditionalists are - alas! - often not aware enough of the tremendous advance of New Age neo-paganism).
 
Glad this thread was bumped…I only knew of Fisheaters and Audio Sancto and enjoy those. I did hear of the Remnant recently.

audiosancto.org/

Other than those I look forward to checking out some of the recommendations posted in this thread.
