“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."

Beautiful photos! Thanks for taking us along. Be safe.
Every visit to Rome, every visit to Gammarelli, every wundebar Italian dish, every visit to a Roman Church and Roman Liturgy and Roman Vestments, instil an “other-Worldliness” to our mundane existence.
Thank you, dear Fr.
Thanks for sharing!! Will visit the tomb of Pope Clement XIV?
Carciofi alla giudia, carciofi alla romana, spaghetti alle vongole are some of my favourite dishes.
Have a lovely time in Rome and don’t forget to post gelato photos, too.
Just loved that pic of the P. Navona. Toooo many years since I’ve visited, 23, in fact. Eheu mi. Great memories of visiting the Forum, and latching onto a professor who was giving a lecture outside the Senate to his group, all modo Latino. I was struggling to understand it all, I must admit. Ma, che era bello. Your pics, Fr. Z,…
vestments, food, Rome… what’s not to like.
Oh my, spaghetti alle vongole!!! I’ve tried to find the exact same thing in the States, but those little clams don’t seem to exist here. I have found some that come close though. Still….
When I was last in Italy, 11 years ago, I went to Sant’Agostino because I’d heard that St. Monica’s bones were there. I was a Protestant at the time, a million miles away from even pondering the idea of becoming Catholic. But I had read St. Augustine’s “Confessions” a few years before and loved St. Monica for her piety and persistence in prayer. As I walked into that cool, dark church, I was there on a mission besides tourism: I went there specifically to pray for my then-boyfriend to become a Christian. If you had pressed me to explain why I should find any special reason to pray in a building with St. Monica’s relics, I couldn’t have given one. It went against all of my Reformed (Presbyterian) beliefs. Yet there I was, kneeling and even sheepishly and timidly asking St. Monica to be my role model in faithfully praying for the conversion of this fellow I cared for so much. John Calvin and John Knox would have boxed my ears for it, no doubt.
Fast-forward to the present: as far as I know, that former boyfriend is no closer to being a Christian than he ever was, so that prayer has not yet been granted. But now I’m Catholic, which is possibly a greater surprise and miracle! Maybe St. Monica had that on her agenda first…
So beautiful. The churches and those beautiful vestments. Thank you Fr. Z.
Jarocookies that is super news, welcome home. And thanks for encouraging me to keep after St. Monica.

As a member of the Diocese of Madison, WI, the coat of arms for my beloved Extremely Extraordinary Ordinary gives me pride of place! Now, to figure out where I can budget to drop off that 10G in Rome. ? If I could do it, you would already be flying that eye candy to Mad City. ooRah
Sofia: Yes, it is amazing. In person it is stunning.
And, it is actually only E.9500, with with the rounding up, etc….
Lovely and the embroidered vestments are splendid…Raise a glass of wine for me. I am off wine in my new regime of eating.
