Deacon Greg, over at his Bench, links to another Fr. Austin with a blog: Fr. Austin Murphy who writes Jesus Goes to Disney World: Finding Christ in Popular Culture. In his going-on-vacation post, Greg links to Murphy's site and I visited there and found a great blog which I'm adding to the blog roll on the right.The Jesus to Disney page is not all about Mickey Mouse but much more so, as the title notes, a commentary on Christianity in pop culture.
Fr. Murphy is a young priest,ordained in 2003, who works in campus ministry at Towson University in Baltimore. What he writes often reveals a wisdom beyond his age (see his posted reflections on the Year for Priests) and his poetic reflections on Sunday gospel texts are well done.
Highly recommended - take a look!

Watched the video about "Footsie" and the gift of his chalice to Austin. Quite inspiring. This is a young priest that bears watching! Like his Baltimore accent too!
