We concluded our wonderful gathering of priests this morning and all now scatter back upon the four winds.
And so I leave CASTLLLE DAAANGERRR once again.
But first a visit to the lighthouse!

“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

Why was it so dangerous at Castttlllle Dangerrrrr?
During your departure we are just beginning our household Latin summer seminar…
Yea, I’d like to know why you call it Castle Danger too? Is it Dangerous because it is a meeting of the Justice League of Conservative Catholic Clergy, With you as Fr. America with his shield of Ossified Deconstructionalism? ( :) I was inspired by a teaser for The Avengers movie coming out next year or 2013).
That photo looks like CASTLLLE DAAANGERRR’s keep/donjon. Obviously motte & baille design!
–Guy
Maybe Cassttllle Daaaangerrrr is like Castel Gandolfo for priests who are more boy than Pontiff?
Yes Father Z, we’d like to know: why the name ‘CASTLE DANGER’? (I am NOT going to attempt the ‘echo effect’!)
Seriously, though, I hope that you and your clerical friends had a nice time together.
ghp95134-do you mean ‘motte and bailey’ design?
Irishgirl “…do you mean ‘motte and bailey’ design?”
… yes. Sorry, I was using the archaic Norman-French spelling.
