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

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use
frz AT wdtprs DOT comBe a “Zed-Head”!
PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?
Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

“In 2002 ago a Catholic commando unit was captured by a sanadlistas for complaining about liturgical translations. These men promptly escaped from a Call to Action Conference to the traditional Mass. Today, still wanted by the liberals, they survive as soldiers of fortunate. If you have liturgical dancers, guitar Masses, or inclusive language, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire…The Z-Team.”
“The Z-Team” is cool …. but I prefer:
Attack Force Z,/i>
Colonel (Chaplain) Zed leads an elite squad from the Z Special Unit. Z Special Unit often known as Z Force, is a joint American, British and Australian commando unit, which sees action against the “Spirit of Vatican II” proponents of the post-Conciliar Church. They are dispatched to rescue surviving parishoners of Clown Masses and irreverent Masses where priests flaunt the Rubrics in remaining pockets of resistance in which aged hippies have entrenched themselves and taken their co-worshipers prisoner — torturing them with guitar music and bongos, singing “Kumbaya My Lord.” One of the survivors is a defecting Bugini supporter, and he is believed to hold a secret (“Say the Black, Do the Red”) that could end irreverent Masses. He must be rescued at any cost, “…one brick at a time.”
WE’RE ON IT!
I love all of the above!
Also, I should love it if this plan came together : ) !
Let’s go team! …..team?? TEAM! Where are you…. Who shut the lights out? Very funny….
“On brave old Z Team,
On to the fray.
Pray on to victory,
For that’s the fearless Catholic way.
The Z Team is the pride and dream
Of the orthodox today.
The Z Team you will ever find
Us mixed up in the fray.
And when the Team is fighting
For the liturgy that’s old,
They’re battling the heterodox,
Who now are getting old.
The Z Team,
The Z Team,
Rah rah rah!
On brave old Z Team,
On to the fray.
Pray on to victory,
For that’s the fearless Catholic way.”
Sung to the tune of “On Brave Old Army Team”
I might even work up a Z Team “Rocket Cheer” one of these days, as well. lol
Oh, I love it-‘The Z Team’ and ‘Attack Force Z’!
Vincenzo strikes again! Should have added His Hermemeuticalness to the ‘team’, too!
Made me smile here in the library….[thumbs up]
Now I’ve got Mike Post’s ‘The A-Team’ theme running though my mind….
CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Product request, Fr. Z-
Some kind of dark, inconspicuous beanie or cap with one of the two slogans that a priest friend could wear in colder weather. He’s rather bald, so I fear a biretta wouldn’t be warm enough.
