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

All these Rome shots have been amazing. I have enjoyed seeing them. It is as close to Rome as I will ever get so it is nice to travel there through photos.
I can’t believe that the men who are trying to destroy the Church, who have committed vile acts and heresies against Her, could have ever believed in and loved the God who inspires such incredible beauty.
