Vote! Vote! Vote!

The voting phase of the 2006 Catholic Blog Awards is now underway!

I hope that when you vote y’all will remember your humble JimmyAkin.Org (a.k.a. Defensor Fidei in the voting), which–much to my surprise–was nominated for a startling number of categories this year:

  • Best Apologetics Blog
  • Most Theological Blog
  • Most Informative Blog
  • Most Insightful Blog
  • Most Intellectual Blog
  • Most Creative Blog
  • Most Bizarre Blog
  • Most Bizarre Blog Post, and
  • Best Blog By A Man (I pointed out the group blog nature of JA.O, but
    those in charge thought it was sufficiently identified with me that
    they preferred to put it in this category)

Despite being nominated for Most Intellectual Blog, I want to stump for this award to go to someone else.

Ed Peters’ blog In the Light of the Law is devoted exclusively to high-end canon law issues. My blog also tackles high-end issues, but it also includes a lot of other stuff (e.g., humor material), meaning that its overall intellectual density per square inch of blogspace is lower, so I’m recommending votes for Ed’s blog in this category.

I’m also recommending SouthernAppeal in the categories it is running for, though The Anchoress may give it a run for its money in the political category this year.

Have fun voting!

Author: Jimmy Akin

Jimmy was born in Texas, grew up nominally Protestant, but at age 20 experienced a profound conversion to Christ. Planning on becoming a Protestant seminary professor, he started an intensive study of the Bible. But the more he immersed himself in Scripture the more he found to support the Catholic faith, and in 1992 he entered the Catholic Church. His conversion story, "A Triumph and a Tragedy," is published in Surprised by Truth. Besides being an author, Jimmy is the Senior Apologist at Catholic Answers, a contributing editor to Catholic Answers Magazine, and a weekly guest on "Catholic Answers Live."

  3. Stand firm, Michelle, even if this blog wins “Best by a Man” == NO quitting, NO sex change! 🙂

  8. Ed, if it was really that simple, we could figure it all out ourselves. Trust me on this, we can’t… 🙂

  10. Oh no. When you go to the voting link, it says that their bandwidth limit is exceeded. What’ll they do?
