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

Homer bombed.
Sometimes Homer – or vice Homer – the spell-checker nods. This was in a parish bulletin in Arkansas. The parish priest laudably is worried about his flock and wanted them to have, it seems, a civil defense drill. Duck and … Read More
