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!
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

I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful.
That way I have steady income I can plan on, and you wind up regularly on my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I periodically say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...

Loading ...This is really useful when travelling… and also when you aren’t and you need backup internet NOW! I use this for my DMR “Zednet” hotspot when I’m mobile. It’s a ham radio thing.
If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

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.
