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

Christian leaders against deviant activists ‘hijacking’ Martin Luther King
What did Martin Luther King really say? He didn’t, and wouldn’t, say that there was a moral equivalence between skin color and deviant inclinations. From CNA with my emphases and comments: Christian leaders rally against gay activists ‘hijacking’ Martin Luther … Read More
