What is the purpose of Top Catholic Songs?
This website is a place where Catholics can discover the top songs that apply directly to them. It is also a venue from which any Catholic artist can share of his talents, influences, favorite songs, or funny stories. The resulting lists are dynamically connected to iTunes--thru which any curious seeker of quality Catholic music can listen for him/herself, burn a CD, upload to a playlist, or continue discovering new artists.
Who votes for the Top Tens?
The Top Ten lists are voted upon from a tight community of Catholic artists, who are committed to excellence and improving their craft. These Catholic musicians are from every walk of life--some are committed to all things liturgical, others have classical education, and some are into punk rock and hip-hop. The only criterion for membership is a commitment to spreading Catholic truths using the talents God has given them.
How are the Top Ten songs chosen?
Songs are nominated from the artists themselves. In addition, the songs must be in iTunes. Only then will the songs be issued in a format that people can easily listen to, downloaded into a playlist, and/or burned onto a CD.
For some, this is too strong a restriction. But then again, anybody can join the topcatholicsongs community so as to nominate their songs, and/or issue a vote. There is no entry fee, as is the case for many other voting organizations. We can even point out how to get an artist's songs up onto iTunes.
Furthermore, this board encourages the fostering of healthy debate. Guest bloggers/artists can offer their own take on what should have been on the list. Comments boxes will be available for alternate opinions. We in the topcatholicsongs community feel that this freedom to discuss the results would ultimately benefit the devout Catholic music lover, no matter what the results turn out to be.

Why do Catholics believe in Mary? Purgatory? The Pope? Transubstantiation? (etc)...
This board is not the forum for Catholic apologetics. If you wish to really find out (and you do), then there are many sites where you can discover the riches of Biblical, historical and logical reasons why Catholics believe as they do. Try here first.
