Though his true identity is known to few, his presence is known to many. Cranky Catholic, as he is known in the blogosphere, is a deeply devout Catholic with a world of experience and knowledge and a bone or two to pick with society.

Surprisingly, Cranky Catholic is not a cranky, cantankerous, crabby or otherwise bad-tempered person. No, he is actually terribly funny and can quite possibly send you into a laughing fit so serious it may send you to the emergency room. I am also sure he has made milk come out someone’s nose at least once in a school cafeteria before.

Many sitting on the “right”-side of the fence have applauded his snipes and gripes, his jabs and pokes at leftist media and their abortion inclination. “Mr. Cranky” has posted commentary on conservative blogs like Jill Stanek and American Life League. He is the constant kernel in the craw of large left blogs like RH Reality Check and Feministing. Though the left-wingers typically try to blow him off with as much pompous steam and derogatory comments as possible, even Amanda Marcotte, indisputably the ‘Queen Bee’ with the poisonous stinger of the RH Reality Check mogul, has trouble shaking this man!

Even with all his popularity on other blogs, Cranky Catholic has finally decided to settle into his own URL. You can now find his musings and aggravations about life at his newly launched blog, www.CrankyCatholic.com. Also on the site are two new additives by our favorite Catholic. The first is “Pop Stupid.” This fabulous little tidbit is loaded with illustrious little blurbs, or should I say verbal screw-ups, from the more famous members of society. The second is “Mass Destruction” and cautions you to “hold onto your breviaries” as it takes you on a tour of the more sacrilegious-minded of the Catholic faithless.

And just to allay any fears you may have, I don’t doubt “Mr. Cranky” still plans his stunning crash appearances on other blogs. After all, we would never want him to quit bothering Ms. Marcotte and her miscreant band of writers!
