It’s a little early for Christmas, but some people are indeed making lists — and I was pleasantly surprised to learn that The Bench has just landed on this one: the Top 50 Catholic Blogs.

There are some familiar names, and some that were new to me. (A lotta blogging nuns out there! Who knew?) It’s a lively and varied bunch, and if you’re looking for some fresh bloggery to read in your spare time, you’ll want to check it out.
