Well someone had to do it - and Hilary is just the girl! Michael Voris will be keynote speaker which sets the tone more or less unambiguously. There will be pizza and beer; and if you absent-mindedly leave your computer and turn up in pyjamas that will probably not be noticed too much. It will be happening on 3 May from 1-5 pm at a location yet to be determined since Hilary only had the idea on Friday.
I'm on the invite list, quite high up. Drat! My ecclesiastical career prospects were looking so hopeful and all. Well, since my cover is blown, I will freely admit that I was in on the conspiracy at an early stage (the beer & pizza bit was mine.) Unfortunately, I have already booked to go to Rome the week after and I can't just swan off from the parish at the drop of a hat. However, I think I will be allowed to participate in some way by Skype.
You can sign up on Facebook at the group for The *Other* Rome Catholic Blognic. If you have got fed up with Facebook and napalmed your profile, you can just put a comment on Hilary's blog.
By the way, this is not a spoof. It is actually going to happen. There will be video. If you are in Rome on 3 May and you are a Catholic blogger you really don't want to miss it. (Unless you are hoping to be a Monsignor, or get a job at Eccleston Square etc.)

The Taliban blognic sounds much more entertaining.
I wonder if the official one isn't a "tell us how you do it" exercise in disguise.
Isn't beer a bit dangerously modernist for Mr Voris?
Would that I could go! However, I am a poor, unemployed man, and will therefore be watching the beatification from Texas. (Besides, getting a passport at the last minute in the US truly depends on an act of divine intervention.)
@ Pachomius: Since monks made beer, I doubt Mr. Voris would consider it modernist ... though he might consider Mike's Hard Lemonade suspicious. (I'm quite fond of it myself, and hope I'm not lengthening my time in Purgatory ....)

Hilary Jane Margaret White Roy, it's a Catholic blognic. Not interested in British politics.
Roy Hobson Hilary Jane Margaret White, I'm a Catholic who was 1st XI captain of Old Addeyans FC when I discovered the NF/BNP were using the Old Addeyans FC/Densitron International PLC clubhouse for their malevolent 'Planning for Real' meetings in the 1990/91 football season. At the time I was practicing as a Chartered Surveyor, and my Thames Gateway Regeneration work saw my visit St James's Palace to discuss City Challenge developments with HRH The Prince of Wales' Institute of Architecture. After a fight at the football club I was sent to Belmarsh Prison, and two not guilty verdicts and 20 years later I am still fighting for a JUSTICE NOT VENGEANCE resolution to this critical FOOTBALL AGAINST RACISM ON EUROPE 1991-2011 focus case. Father Tim Finigan is aware of the devastating effect that NF/BNP entry-ism into London's Sporting/Planning Arena had on both my professional and my family life and he visited me in prison in 2002 when I was condemned to the Segregation Unit of a Cat AA prison. The case for the defence has progressed greatly since then, and in Feb 2007 I defeated both the IPCC, and Sir Ian Blair at Judicial Review before the Hon Mr Justice Goldring in Court No 1 at the Royal Courts of Justice. A complaint against the Met's Solicitor Andrea Cunningham has been put to the Home Secretary by my current MP David Evennett, after Ms Cunningham lost my file and 'made one up' to replace it. Our Lady of the Rosary ( http://the-hermeneutic-of-continuity.blogspot.com/2010/10/celebrating-parish-feast-day.html ) pray for us in BNP leader Nick Griffin MEP's EU/GLA/LDA/ODA NEO-NAZI DEVELOPMENT TIMES Amen
PAPA RATZI ( http://www.thepapalvisit.org/ ) ORA PRO NOBIS!
Yours sincerely

Anthony S. Layne Surely, according to Mr Voris, monasticism is the PERVERSE TWISTING of Christ's message through the PROTO-PURITANISM of Monophysite Heretics (each sold separately)?
@ Pachomius: (chuckle) Yeah, I know his über-Catholic attitude can get a little annoying at times, which is why I don't follow him habitually. I will say, though, that it doesn't get quite as bad as one or two of the commenters on WDTPRS, who seem to fall just slightly to the left of the SSPX.
