I haven’t written for this blog for quite awhile and I am very busy right now with my college stuff. I have also been researching positions on Mormon priesthood development that will take much but not all of the sting of criticisms that Mormons, such as Hugh Nibley, have made about Catholic priesthood development.

Well, plans for the weekend have suddenly become plans for tomorrow, so instead of writing a post tonight and tomorrow, I’ll do it over the weekend.  This thing will get kick-started, I promise.

I’d like to apologize for the strange and sometimes offensive spam that invaded the comments these past few days.  We have “Akismet,” the venerable spam filter plugin, running now, and it’s trapping spams faster than missionaries trap the obvious non-member at a sacrament meeting (and that’s fast, believe you me).  I bear the blame for the spam, because I didn’t help set up all the plugins right away.  Mea culpa.

I’m Brad Haas, a.k.a. Defensor Veritatis.  I’ll be representing the Catholic side of things around here.  I became acquainted with Dave on the Catholic Answers discussion forum, and I was honored and excited when he approached me with the idea for this blog.  I look forward to the discussions, although for now I don’t have enough time to post very much.  Feel free to comment or email me with any questions, or stop by my more-Catholic-oriented blog if you’re interested.  Ciao!
