New Link: The Jesuit Post

Just wanted to share a new website that friend just shared. The Jesuit Post was launched in January. Since some of my favorite Catholics (and people) are Jesuits, I was eager to explore the site. Its editor in chief, Paddy Gilger, S.J., began with a post called "Introducing The Jesuit Post (feat. Kevin Garnett, Jesus, Bob Dylan and Descartes)." From that piece:

Looking back I think it’s fair to say that I became a Jesuit so I could get closer to God. And I think it’s fair to say that I was able to get close to God because somebody somewhere could talk about God in my own language, the language of Saturday Night Live and the Milwaukee Brewers and Springsteen. And those somebodies were Jesuits. For me, slow learner that I am, it took Jesuits talking to me in my own language about Jesus before I could even imagine getting to know Him myself.

Faith and pop culture? Right up my alley. I added it to the sidebar here for easy reference. I hope you enjoy it too.
