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

More American Catholic Council joy in Detroit! A local TV report.
There was a story on the local news about the American Catholic Council… Council… get it? Council? Several points in the report were misleading. For example, there could only be canonical consequences, realistically, for clerics of the Archdiocese of Detroit … Read More
