About this blog…
“This blog is 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

Lieutenant Johnson, I salute you-and second your comment, Nathan!
Fr. Z-I couldn’t comment on your April Fools posting about Bishop Fellay ‘going’ to St. Louis…but you had me going there…till I read the comments! You had me going there for a minute! I could have whooped it up in the library-and good thing I wasn’t eating or drinking anything!
Talk about a ‘gotcha’ moment!
I just repeated ‘you had me going there’, and I couldn’t edit-rats!
Oh, well….a ‘senior moment’ perhaps?
Sigh…
Here’s version 2 of my caption (my intermittent muse just hit)

But then to our dismay
the first from the buffet
was partial to just Limburger cheese.
