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

No livestream. Hope Father is okay, and that YT isn’t being banhappy (again, still, yet, always).
There is so much going on in this beautiful picture, I wish I knew which church it is.
Where?
It’s a very nice shot of the “Cappella del Transito di Santa Caterina da Siena” (Chapel of the Passage) in the Palazzo Santa Chiara, between Largo di Torre Argentina and the Pantheon.

@Gaudete, Thank you.
