It is with great sadness that I heard of the departure of Ryan Grant, a.k.a, Athanasius, from the blogosphere. Besides being a knowledgeable and charitable man of tremendous erudition, his blog, Athanasius Contra Mundum, was also the first Catholic blog I ever started following and was in fact my inspiration to start up this blog in 2007. Ryan explains his reasons for taking down his blog here. Please pray for him; I cannot begin to express how I feel about this loss - when I compare my blog to his, mine looks so juvenile that I feel ashamed to be counted in his illustrious company.
Well, this encomium as gone on long enough; Ryan would probably slap me if he were here. Thanks Athanasius for years of great work dedicated to the triumph of Tradition. Let us all raise a pipe to you this evening in mourning even as we say a prayer for you in hope.

Please, I wanted to read the reasons alleged by Athanasius to close his blog, but there are aren't on the web anymore. ¿Do you know where I can find them?
Thanks.
You know, I don't know - they were posted on his blog before he deleted it. He cited the fact that he had no time between work and family, and I think he had some other reasons that he didn't want to go into. That's all I could tell you about it. Sorry.
