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

Religious bigot Bill Maher on Pope Benedict XVI
Bill Maher is tasteless and not very funny. A bad combination for an aspiring comedian. He is also a bigot. If you don’t want to watch this, taking his page from the nasty business with that Mormon cult in Texas … Continue reading
