    • I know this certainly wouldn't be a very popular site on Cathinfo, but a few times a month I would check-it-out to see what conservative NO'ers were up to. Technically it was a good aggregate site.

    Dear Pewsitter Reader,
    After more than 11 years of continuous news aggregation I have decided to cease operations of 
    Pewsitter. It has been my privilege and pleasure to serve you. Thank you for your patronage over 
    those years.
    These are disconcerting and difficult times in which we live, both within the secular world and the 
    Church. The good news is that we know, in the end, Christ will triumph. I continue to pray for the 
    Church and our Pope and I ask that you do the same. To quote St. Padre Pio, "Pray, hope and 
    don't worry."

    p.s. The final disposition of the site is undetermined. Discussions are underway and it is possible
    that the site might re-open under different management. Stay Tuned!

    .
    So, what kind of content did it have? All gone now, or is it archived somewhere?
    .
    Did James Todd get tired of posting bad news from Rome, or what?
    .
    What there is now on the site (same as what you quoted, one short page) isn't much to show for 11 years.
    .
    Do you plan on Staying Tuned?

    • It was a NO version of Drudge. Good for checking in on what the NO was up to. I'll miss it.

    • Alter Schwede!

    Don't you recognize the intrinsic value of a "Conservative Novus ordo" forum ?





    It's a perfect media extension for Father Wegner's PR campaigns!

    How else are they going to fill that big, drafty, overpriced seminary, unless they tap into the hearts & minds of the folks who are "vulnerable" to neo-tradition?

    Hurry, send an email to Menzingen... Mr. Todd may be willing to sell it ?
