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

VINTAGE RECTORY BATHROOM TILES: 01
Yesterday I wrote, only half-facetiously, about my road trip… Along the way I wish I had been taking photos of bathroom tiles in old rectories. Some of them have their fixtures from the 40’s and 50’s, which means also great … Read More
