“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

Holy Father: “How are the Vikings doing?”
Pope: “You ain’t seen seen nothing yet. 2008 is the bigee!”
Nulla est medicina sine lingua Latina

I knew I should have gone BEFORE halftime.
Don’t look now Cardinal Mindzsenty but that’s Cardinal Roncalli just behind you.

“I’m sorry Cardinal. What was your name again? You all do so look alike.”
“Holy Father, I’d like a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas!”
“You’ll shoot your eye out, kid!”
“Okay, what’s your plan if I decide to give you Westminster?”
” – Well, Holy Father, I’d… I’d…”
“NEXT”
“. . . and I want a 1962 Missale with the red leather binding and gold edges on the pages and plenty of ribbons. . . and a mens’ schola and . . . “
Pope whispering: “Summorum Pontificum lives. Pass it on.”
(with apologies to the prelate into whose mouth I put these words)
“But Holy Father,if we can’t define `idoneus’ as meaning `unanimously declared a better Latin poet than Ovid or Horace,historian than Livy or Tacitus,tragedian than Seneca,and comic playwright than Plautus by the classics faculties of ten different universities’,then how are we to guarantee places on the schedule for our Heavy Metal Striptease Masses?”
