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

St. Pat’s Parade: homosexuality, yes – pro-life, no
I read a NewsMax entry that a pro-life group was denied a spot in the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. HERE Openly homosexual groups are welcome, but not pro-life groups. I’m just sayin’ Comment moderation queue is ON.
TEOTWAWKI? Double blast CME heading towards Earth.
