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

UPDATED REACTION: HBO’s The Young Pope
I finally slogged my way through HBO’s The Young Pope. “Slogged”, I say, firstly because it is a weekly series. Next, because as the series dragged on I gradually lost interest. Lastly, as it came to “The End” at … Read More

Brick By Brick: A church gets a make over
Some parish churches are victims of awful post-Conciliar, faithless wreckovation. Some are awful because of budget problems when they were being constructed. Some are just plain awful. There’s hope. A priest friend of mine has given a make over to … Read More
