"Not now, Kato, you fewl! Warm up za Silver Hornet!"
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

Now go back to your office, turn on your computer, go to the Curt Jester website. Whatever date he gives you for the Indult, we had better stick to. Then e-mail the Curt Jester and tell him the date, cc WDTPRS. Don’t tell the French bishops anything apart from how wonderfully civilised they are.

Anonymous knows something because that does appear to be Msgr Georg Gaenswein next to BXVI.
Tut mir leid. When I pat my pet rottweiler, Schatzi, the ring hurts her too.
anonymous (ego sum) knows quite alot. ;)

“Whatza matta wit you!?”
“Achtung! I am going to tell you something, so you had better listen!”
The hand of a great, saintly pope on Peter’s Chair and a holy priest receiving a blessing. What is the blessing? The ‘motu proprio’ on the Tridentine Latin Mass will, prayerfully, be released on the holy feast of St. Peter’s Chair, the greatest pope of the greatest in Christendom!
St. Peter pray for us!!! Do you know why Peter was the greatest of the greatest?

Those fools! Everyone knows my left profile is best
Gänswein: No, don’t hit meeeee!!
Okay, Curia here’s the release date for the Motu Proprio in sign language. Georg, don’t look!
Here is my trailer…
“Our Rite of Pius V coming subito to a church new you, “
Pope: Georg, I think I have a splinter on my palm.
Georg: No… I can’t look. I’ll faint at the sight of blood.
No Piero! We have told you before we don’t want any suggestions like that!
