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

Good coffee and tea. Help monks.
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.

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often 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?

You have my support! Sort of. I tried to vote for WDTPRS, but apparently one needs a facebook account in order to cast a vote. Ugh..that’s…stupid. I don’t have facebook, don’t want one. Sorry, Father. :(
Fr. Z, I want to vote for you early and often, but About.com requires a login with either their registration or through Facebook. I tried through Facebook but About.com inserted a request that I allow them to do several rather discomfiting things, such as post to Facebook in my name. So I didn’t allow it and that apparently blocked my login.
How can I login and vote without delivering my identity into the hands of About.com?
I don’t know. That sounds like a flaw in the process.
Mind you, there were definitely problems with the voting last year, but these little things are worth promoting, for they help promote some sizzle and activity with various Catholic sites.
How can I login and vote without delivering my identity into the hands of About.com?
This is why I withdrew from the voting, filioque.
You would have my vote, but I am not and do not want to be on Facebook or go through about.com. Sorry.
I am on Facebook and even logged in, but I’m still told I’m not when I try to participate. Methinks there’s a glitch in the system.
Er, cancel that. It was a user error. Silly user just figured out how to log in.
Would cast my vote in favor of your blog Fr. But prefer not to do business with Facebook. Perhaps there is another way to vote.
1. For those of you who don’t want to, or can’t, log in via FB, you can create a login for About.com as an option.
2. Father Z, You have at least one nomination—mine—and my prayers for many more. Your blog articles were very much a contributor to my conversion, and to my subsequent reception into the Church at Pentecost 2010.
Pax et bonum,
Keith Töpfer
