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

Of apologies and of double-standards

At Life Site I read a story about how some Chinese women fled China to the USA in order to save their babies from the One Child Policy. In the future, if Pres. Obama has his way, this won’t be … Read More
Common ground?
Via the great Vincenzo: Remember his promises at Notre Dame? The hopes of Card. Cottier? The excuses of Doug Kmiec? The panting of L’Osservatore Romano? Don’t forget that Vincenzo has the Pius Clocks!
Coming to a Catholic Church near you.
FYI… St. James Cathedral in Seattle was defaced with anti-Catholic spray-painted stenciled graffiti. Nice choice of color. Coming to a Catholic Church near you.
From lightning and tempests, spare us O Lord.
