The past few years have seen an explosion in the Catholic blogosphere,
with hundreds of new web sites and blogs catering to every imaginable
interest.

The granddaddy of them all is “Whispers in the Loggia.” Over the
last five years, it has grown into one of the most widely read
Catholic blogs in the world –with nearly 13 million visits so far.

It’s all the brainchild of one enterprising young Philadelphian: a
26-year-old writer and Vatican-watcher named Rocco Palmo. Recently,
he ventured up to Brooklyn to hoist a few with our own Lino Rulli.

The two caught up on all things Catholic – and that’s why it’s Lino’s
“Catch of the Day.”
