Fr. Lombardi, head of Vatican Radio and the Press Office, thus the papal spokesman, gave an address to a meeting in Spain, the communications commission for the Spanish bishops’ conference.

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.

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

Well worth reading:
“‘Communication for communion’ has become for me in the course of time a persistent motto, which continually inspires all my work as communicator”
Fr. Lombardi’s thought should give us all pause (think then post) about the quality of Catholic communications we are participant in, what message we send in the our dialogues and harangues. The world does pay attention, and our input, here, impacts and communicates to more than just the “regulars” of the our blogs.
