Published: 2007-10-08

SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO, Calif. (CNS) -- Cistercian Father Bernard McCoy, founder of LaserMonks.com, and Jesuit Father Robert J. Spitzer, president of Gonzaga University in Spokane, Wash., are among the columnists for the new online Catholic Business Journal. On the Web at www.CatholicBusinessJournal.biz, the online platform aims to connect Catholic business professionals with each other and with their faith. Its initial 17-week public launch is scheduled to end Dec. 12. The site offers users an interactive place to explore best practices, share resources, find and post jobs, discuss business issues, create joint ventures, submit prayer requests and give opinions on books, movies, restaurants and hotels, its organizers say. Nine Catholic columnists who are business leaders will supply commentary. "We are confident that the caliber of our columnists -- and their intimate understanding of faith and business -- will help influence lives and thinking in the workplace," said managing director Karen Walker.
