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.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.

Two against eight? Does that seem fair to you?
They haven’t excommunicated Mohoney yet? Ah well, there is always Latæ Sententiæ…
Those guys are against the Moto? No problem… we can take them…
From the presider: “All right, cardinals: Who’s in favor of the motu proprio?”
“Look at that joker! His beanie is crooked! (What do we call these red skull caps thingies again?)”
Ecce cardines sine porta!
Cardinal on the Left gives the “thumbs up” to Cardinal Roger Mahoney’s
liturgical dance interpretation of the Electric Slide just concluded on
the Cardinal Sooooul Train dance line. Cardinal on the the Right is still
consider whether that was better then Cardinal Francis Arinze’s Hustle.
“I think I could outflank Arinze at fullback tryouts.”
“Red rover, red rover, send Francis on over!”
ROFL!
“From what I can tell, the wind is blowing in the RIGHT direction”
We’ll send Bertone on a deep route down the right, then I’ll fake the hand off to Arenze, then I’ll do a flea-flicker to you before the pocket collapses.
“Clown Masses? They’rrre outta here!”
Hey–didn’t Arinze just tie Berone’s soes together?
We need a new Cardinal to sit over there, how about Cardinal Zuhlsdorf?
As is custom in Papal Dodgeball, the visiting Cardinal (on the left) gets the first pick of all other eligible Cardinals.
Just roll it right down that line there for the perfect strike, Eminence.
