“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

Ah, Cardinal Müller’s title church :)
The Stacks…does that refer to pancakes or books, hmm… :)
I thought I heard that the Vatican Library was trying to digitize its collection. If only we didn’t have such draconian copyright laws, it would be so nice to have all of the world’s knowledge at ones fingertips. I love the feel of paper, but I’ll never have the chance to rummage around in dank dusty libraries in foreign countries. I have to live vicariously through electrons bouncing off a screen. If you haven’t done so, take you children to a really old (or at least moderately old) library and turn them loose on the stacks. It is one of the best ways to encourage a life-long passion for books and learning. Who knows what they might discover while wandering around.

Happy studies, Fr. Z.
Nothing is more fun than being alone, or semi-alone with a pile of books and other research materials. The sheer volume of the printed word, and the amount of dedication the staff has to have to keep it in order is something to behold wherever you are. I love being in research libraries of large (Big 10ish) American Universities. I bet the Vatican’s library is like going from Double A to the Majors by comparison.
Happy studies. For every paper or thesis or whatever, the research was always the most fun part. The actual typing of the piece not-so-much. Godspeed Father. Thanks for the posts!
A lovely Ferrari, Father, but then how many of them are not lovely?
On a more serious note, you have my prayers that your studies will be fruitful, and enjoyable.
Pax et bonum,

Father, you will be nice and let the Holy Father have a test drive of your Veyron when he asks, won’t you?
Il Pasquino
What did the statues really say?
The good soul depicted with the little flowing barrel reminds me of Michelangelo somehow (I can’t place why). What do ‘we’ know about him, and is his really a water barrel? (Or does the water depict something made with human hands?)
The second statue is called the pasquin , not even sure of the word exists in English or il pasquino. there is a story I can not recall about it. must go back to my Lanciani. However the word in Italian and Spanish pasquin , meaning a derogatory, cheap yellow press comes from the name of the statue
