The Merchant of Venice is on the boards this afternoon.

“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Samuel, your question reminds me of the English Jesuit of those days who was going bald and feared that his bald spot looked too much like a tonsure for his safety. So he sent a coded message to the General in Rome asking whether he could wear a wig to hide it. “Picture those men risking their lives to carry that correspondence all the way to Rome and back!” The General’s reply was “Yes, but I may not give you leave to wear it after the Sanctus.”
