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.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

PLEASE RESPOND. Pretty pleeeease?
Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

If that’s an angel, I’d like to contact him for some business…just a little business. He looks formidable and determined; and I’m not referring to the bloke lying on the ground with his eyes popping out!!
When guardian angels really get serious.
“What’d you say about da Tridentine Mass?”
Great photo!
Hey, Father, seriously, this blog is an awesome place for us displaced Catholics to come and cut-up a bit! I live in South Carolina; and it really is interesting being a Catholic here, at times (although generally the people are wonderful)!
So, it’s nice to stop in here, and get my Catholic dose for the day! I hail, originally, from a part of the west where the majority are catholic, now I’m in a part of the east where it’s 5%, notwithstanding the Mexican immigrants! So, I’m a fish on dry land, so to speak!
But, I find the climate, and politics, agreeable, so I will stay, until God calls me elsewhere….
Reminds me of those freaky Weeping Angels from Doctor Who. “Don’t Blink, blink and you’re dead!”
Clearly Zuhlio has the most formidable entourage of any hip-hop artist.
Don’t ever miss with those fat naked flying babies.
Hahaha what a great image to start my day with. I have some work the little guy could do.
“Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee”
I hate in when that happens! Although I might easily make an exception for priests who like to photograph their food..
Dear Fr. Z!
Wow! I am a long-time reader of your ineffable (sorry, couldn’t resist) blog (I even adopted your emphasis/comment method for some of my articles – hope that’s okay). Seeing that you seem to be reading “rom, römer, am römsten” occasionally or even by chance was a nice surprise! Thanks for the link and keep up the great work!
In Christ,
Alipius

Just my luck!!….I got Cupid for my Guardian Angel!…Doh!
Very funny photo. Dom Alipius is always a good source for Putti.
In this new world, it takes Father Z to let me know what about a funny post on a brother’s website. But, I hope that he gets some readers on his blog. It is very good (if your speak German).
Oh that’s FUNNY!
I like the ‘float like a butterfly, sting like a bee’ that gmaskell used….
Great comment, Kernel! I was thinking the same thing.
Life is better with a Dr Who reference.
Jacob wrestling with the angel? I always pictured Jacob having a beard…
Don’t make me put my flyin’ Putti on ya’.
Ditto on the Doctor Who comments… and I have to say, that particular episode freaked me out!
Listen here. You “Say the Black, Do the Red”, start wearing a cassock, and nobody gets hurt. Capiche?
