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

Writers so bad they defy even blogosphere invective
It may be that the MSM campaign against the Catholic Church is losing some steam. They are therefore going to simply lash out with barely concealed hatred. Case in point: Check out the Boston Globe today and read a piece … Read More
