WARNING!
Episcopal gloves and…
…baklava.
“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


I love bakalva……are the episcopal gloves yours Father? are you giving us a hint?
He’s hinting that he had Greek food for lunch!
perhaps Fr is thinking of going East :)
Good idea to put the Gauntlets in plastic, Father. They are so hard to keep clean, especially the white ones.
Best baklava I had was in Astoria.
Did you have some nice moussaka too? I am hungry just thinking about it!
I enjoyed the baklava at the Pegasus Restaurant in Chicago. The saganaki was excellent as well.
I used to have Armenian Orthodox next-door neighbors who would bring me home made freshly baked baklava. It was soooo gooood!
Don’t tell me, Father– you’ve been appointed the new coadjutor of L.A.! Oh frabjous day!
I’ll take your advice and just have the baklava alone.
Sooo, Fr. Z. What are you trying to tell us?
Yeah, Fr. Z-we’d like to know!
I would offer two weeks’ pay to my parish, in thanks to Almighty God, if you were made Archbishop of L.A.
I would offer quite a sum nonetheless if you were made bishop of anywhere. You are the sort we need, Father.
“I would offer quite a sum nonetheless if you were made bishop of anywhere.”
Marius, we here in Springfield have been waiting almost 10 months so if Fr. Z ends up in the Land of Lincoln both of us will be showing our gratitude.
I can imagine what would happen if Fr Z became Bishop Z, a year long audit of the diocese followed by firm but compassionate pointers to the priests and laity, I also imagine that like Gussipe Sarto AKA St Pius X he would be a ‘hands on’ Bishop.
I think the focus here is really on the qualities of the baklava and the detrimental effect it might have on some liturgical vestments.
Bah! Don’t go dashing our hopes, like that!
