Vatican News
and because sometimes, I just need a humorous take on all those:
Eye of the Tiber
Creative Minority Report
Curt Jester
Ironic Catholic
Catholic Memes (there’s a whole lot more on FB, plus Tumblr)
Two ways I organize my news sources:
Feedly
and when on Facebook, Lists, where I have lists for a) Pro-Life Leaders and Writers, b) Current Events, and c) my mom friends and other close friends who keep up with the same concerns.
Every so often, I go on Twitter to see what people are talking about, but I prefer getting my current events from the above.
I also like taking a peek at how the Catholic youth view their faith and current events from time to time, so I check out Catholic Tumblr blogs.
Note that many of these overlap in terms of the news they report/comment on. It goes without saying that I am not capable of reading all these sources every single day, so it just depends on what time I have. Sometimes I go on FB to catch up on news, sometimes I go on Feedly, other times I rely on friends and family to keep me informed. I try to not to overwhelm myself with too much input, especially during Lent. I process/digest things throughout the day — blogging and journaling helps at times — and when I feel that I’m inundated I shut things down and focus on prayer and family.
Hope that helps!
Finding pro-life teams in social media is like finding a great treasure. For me, LifeSiteNews.com is number 1.
Thank you for your list.
Hi Sr. Athens! 🙂 Thanks for visiting and commenting. Yes, of course, LifeSiteNews.com is a great aggregrator. In our pro-life groups, almost everyone shares posts from LSN (and LifeNews.com) so I figured most pro-lifers know about it already, and I wanted to call attention to other sources that people might not be aware of.
