A decade and a half ago, the late Thomas Herron was quick to figure out that these tools were acting as a Stoßtrupp pushing an agenda within the Church with backing coming from Neo-Conservative groups often outside the Church. Now, their usefulness has been served. Some soldier on, others have become disillusioned, and a few like Mark Shea and Simcha Fisher have become frustrated and bitter leftists.
Our present hindsight makes this column (note the link has been removed but interested readers can find it themselves by going to the duckduckgo dot com website and entering culturewars + double life in the search field) by Thomas Herron all the more enjoyable to read about a pathetic group who lost sight of what the Church's mission really is by insisting on leaving their own little mark of vanity.
Chris Jackson explored the sorry state at St. Blog's eleven years later.
Update: We suspect Welborn ordered a hit on this blog:
Blogger has been notified, according to the terms of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), that certain content in your blog is alleged to infringe upon the copyrights of others. As a result, we have reset the post(s) to "draft" status. (If we did not do so, we would be subject to a claim of copyright infringement, regardless of its merits. The URL(s) of the allegedly infringing post(s) may be found at the end of this message.) This means your post - and any images, links or other content - is not gone. You may edit the post to remove the offending content and republish, at which point the post in question will be visible to your readers again.
A bit of background: the DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service provider liability in case of copyright infringement. If you believe you have the rights to post the content at issue here, you can file a counter-claim. In order to file a counter-claim, please see https://support.google.com/leg
The notice that we received, with any personally identifying information removed, will be posted online by a service called Lumen at https://www.lumendatabase.org. We do this in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). You can search for the DMCA notice associated with the removal of your content by going to the Lumen page, and entering in the URL of the blog post that was removed.
If it is brought to our attention that you have republished the post without removing the content/link in question, then we will delete your post and count it as a violation on your account. Repeated violations to our Terms of Service may result in further remedial action taken against your Blogger account including deleting your blog and/or terminating your account. DMCA notices concerning content on your blog may also result in action taken against any associated AdSense accounts. If you have legal questions about this notification, you should retain your own legal counsel.
Sincerely,
The Blogger Team

She didn't write either the Jackson or the Herron piece. Mugshot photos are public. E.g:

Wow. Herron's material sure got scrubbed fast. Just a few scraps left in the Wayback Machine.
I was thinking the same.
Btw, Amy sure be mad.
I had a real soft spot to her for years because I sort of liked her. She was kind of easy on the eyes. She was also much more civilized, cultured, writerly (almost actually Christian) than the garrulous Puzzulo, flatulent Shea, scamming Scalia, Gaydanus and Deacon's Stench
or the lackadaisical Longenecker. She was kind, but in the final analysis, pushing an un-Catholic agenda with the rest of these celebrity cloggers.
She used to have a quote from Flannery O'Connor on her blog, pointing to a certain degree of acedia, and that points, in my mind, to where this crap really started: The Catholic Worker Movement and places like that coven of lesbians in Highland Park.
What's your beef with blogs? This is one. I think they do a lot of good keeping the all important dialog going, whether they be sede or normal.

@Steph So you don't mind blogs that are obviously puppets of various agendas hostile or alien to Catholicism?
The Catholic Blogs like those mentioned are like Protestant churches: Fronts for Political Movements.
Of all of them, Welborn's seemed the most innocuous. If she hadn't opened the door for others who pushed the envelope further, I doubt anyone would care. Hers would be little different from all the religious and ethnic blogs run as hobbies by housewives who share recipes and knitting tips.
Nevertheless, blogging on theFaith can be the near occasion of sin for all:

IF you do anything Church related, there's always a price to be paid, and the various people who promote themselves for money will already have received their reward when the last trumpet sounds.
If you blog, write on the Church, or declare yourself a Christian, be prepared to be nailed to a cross and raised up for the ridicule of the world.
"So you don't mind blogs that are obviously puppets of various agendas hostile or alien to Catholicism?"
What's your whinge about Tancred? Your site is certainly hostile to and subvertive of Catholicism.
But Fakeo de Wankerella, your gay definition of Catholicism, involving the canonization of buggery, would have at least been horrible to most people prior to 1960, except perhaps in certain areas in the Languedoc, Galicia and Bosnia from the 6th to the 13th centuries.
Why not hit the site hosting the article instead of EF for linking it?
