“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
I'm finishing up a batch of Mass intentions right now. I'll have room in my register for more while I am in Rome. Also, I regularly say Mass for my regular benefactors and special Roman Sojourn Donors. HERE for the form I use.
Imrahil on Rome 24/10 – Day 38: fast: “1. Nd7+ Ka7 2. Qc7+ Ka8 3. Qb7++ The only alternative for black is the even briefer mate 1. ……”
A.S. Haley on Rome 24/10 – Day 38: fast: “Sacrificing White’s Knight (while threatening Black’s Queen) forces Black to move his Rook, and then it’s all over: 1. Nd7+…”

Everyone, work to get this into your parish bulletins and diocesan papers.
The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clerics who are priests more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds.
St. John Eudes

“Until the Lord be pleased to settle, through the instrumentality of the princes of the Church and the lawful ministers of His justice, the trouble aroused by the pride of a few and the ignorance of some others, let us with the help of God endeavor with calm and humble patience to render love for hatred, to avoid disputes with the silly, to keep to the truth and not fight with the weapons of falsehood, and to beg of God at all times that in all our thoughts and desires, in all our words and actions, He may hold the first place who calls Himself the origin of all things.”

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.
“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
“The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.”
- C.S. Lewis

In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
“teacher told me that every time a bell rings, a pope gets his wings!”
Ah, the wonderful things you can do to a vestment with starch.
Yes, the breath of the Holy Spirit is blowing ever more strongly about
this Holy Pope!
Your left eye is fine. Now cover your right eye and read the top line of the chart.
“Zypher Winds that blow on high, lift me now so I may fly!!!!!”
“The Flying Pope” preparing for takeoff. He is at the “HOLD” line waiting for “The Flying Nun” to land.

I’m appalled Fr. Z. That’s a simar, not a cassock!
LOL at Guy Power!
“Oh, no! Now I know how Sister Bertrille felt!”
I don’t mean this to be disrespectful in the least. If it is, please delete it and accept my apology.
“In the middle of another long and boring meeting, the Holy Father decided to lighten the mood by doing his famous Marilyn Monroe imitation.”
See! I haven’t shut any of the windows John XXIII opened!
The Holy Father’s vestments come complete with defensive measures to soften impact.

Sorry, it should read:

Darn. Too much starch AGAIN!
WOW! Even his apparel will wipe the persperation from his forehead. Who is this that even his clothes obey him?
@ Patrick,
That was awesome. Honestly, you have just made my day.
‘Help – I think I’m being attacked by a giant manta ray!’
Simar says, “See, I’ve even got over sleeves like back in the good ol’ days.”
“Man, I knew those american bishops were full of hot air, but this is crazy!”
Those beans were terrible.
The master of ceremonies arranged a simple but effective diversion to keep the Holy Father from seeing the spandex-clad dancers.
This static electricity is such a nuisance.
God is “THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS”!
