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

“Two years ago in 2005, a crack ecclesial unit was locked in the Sistine chapel with the dean of the College of Cardinals, to clean up crimes they didn’t commit. That man promptly emerged from this maximum security conclave to head the See of Rome. Today, still disdained by theological “progressivesâ€, he and his assistants survive as soldiers of Christ. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can call on… The B-Team.”
Vincenzo: You did it again!
Tim: LOL!
The Pope prays for all priests to once again wear a cassock.
“The fifth Whoop-A** Mystery . . . The Cleansing of the Temple”

Welcome to the real world, Monsieur Ricard!
It’s like some kind of super-Catholic Marlboro man ad.
“Real men fight evil.
“Real men say the Rosary.
“Don’t be a wimp. Say it every day.”
“I’m gonna make God an altar He can’t refuse.”
I keep thinking of Python’s THE BISHOP
“We was too late!!”

The Pope was overheard saying, “Operation Soto Voce is proceeding exactly as planned. Now let us speak of this no longer… Ave Maria…“
ONE! TWO!, ONE TWO THREE FOUR!

Papa Benedetto: Fr. Bonasera… Fr. Bonasera! Why, why didn’t you come to me before this? If you had come to me before this, even now, the scum who did this to your liturgy would be suffering even as your parishioners are suffering.
“Yeah, I got friends in Brooklyn, you gotta problem wit dhat?”
Song: fight of the valkyries
B16: “Ah, I love the smell of Summorum Pontificum in the morning”
“Future’s so bright, I gotta wear shades!”
Not a caption. Does anyone know who the priest to the left of His Holiness (right side of picture) is? He looks just like a Jesuit priest who came to my parish recently.
Well, he’s definitely dressed like a Jesuit.
Caption…..
The guy on the left side of the picture: “Oh crap, I forgot my rosary. Maybe, if I just pretend I have one in my hand they won’t notice.”
That guy is Angelo Gugel, a layman living in the Vatican with his family. He
is the pope personal assistant, since John Paul II. Georg is wearing the mountain
trousers to shorten by zip. (it’s scorching in Italy, even on the Dolomites)
When I said the person on the left of the pope, I meant the right side of the picture. I was about the name of the priest in the black shirt with collar and the gray pants.
“I’ll be back.”
…the Papal Synchronised Rosary Recitation Team in action…
Uh, your holiness, i believe you forgot the fatima prayer after the last glory be…
All I can think of is the calssic line from the move “They Live”
“I came here to kick (butt) and chew bubblegum… and I’m all out of bubblegum.”

“Gentlemen, we dine in hell…”
(Looks to me like they are marching off to hell to exorcise it, and after conquering it, will have a grand feast to celebrate the reign of Christ.)

Vincenzo,
Great work as always!
BTW, you could use “Matrix” since St. Cyril of Alexandria referred to the Church of Rome as as the “matrix” or “womb” of Christian unity!
God bless!

It’s “Ride of the Valkyries”, actually, not “Fight of the Valkyries”.
