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

I puzzled that one a while before consulting the Oracle that is Google Books for clarification:
“The Palazzo di Colonna is a very Spacious and splendid edifice, and belongs to the constable Colonna, Duke of Paliano. On the steps before this palace are a marble statue
of a barbarian monarch, a large buft of Alexander the Great, with Bucephalus represented on its breast; and
fome steps higher is a Medusa’s head of porphyry, supposed to have belonged to Nero’s golden palace, with this inscription… “In this golden house are seen memorials of Nero, without his wicked actions; and the head of Medusa, without the mischievous effects of it: An indication, that only
here Medusa’s can be softened, and Nero’s will not be tolerated” (From Johann Georg Keyssler’ “Travels”)
Ha! The Romans really were the masters of satire.
No comments were allowed on the conference, but I had to say somewhere that these men were a godsend back in the good old days of Mother Angelica and EWTN. What a difference their knowledge and zeal for the faith were to so many Catholics, including ourselves. Thank you, gentlemen. Thank you, Fr. Z., and all faithful priests and bishops.
