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

USA Day 1 – A soft landing
Back in Rome, the sun was supposed to rise at 06:56 and set at 16:53, the two ends of the day clamping in on the residents like a Death Star dumpster. The numbskulls who are in charge of the Roman … Read More
Rome 10/24 – My view for awhile – UPDATED
I was up well before sunrise at 06:45. I wont see anything of sunset at 16:45. The calendar still has the Ave Maria at 17:30. Grrr. Thank you for this day, Lord. It is the Feast of St Juan Diego. … Read More

Rome 24/10 – Day 41: Another heartbreak
The sun rose behind clouds at 06:52. I hope we will have clear skies when it sets at 16:56. The Ave Maria should ring in its 17:15 cycle and the Vatican calendar has still got it wrong. I double … Read More

Thoughts about the Feast of the Dedication of a Church: “It is not the same thing to pray in private, or to pray in the sacred sanctuary and to take part in the rites of Catholic Liturgy.”
Today at Mass for this Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica I was struck by the beauty of the orations and imagery. First, there was the collect, which I mention elsewhere. The first reading is from the Book … Read More

Rome 24/10 – Day 39-40: Open! Says me.
Over Rome the sun brought new light at 06:51. That light will greatly diminish at 16:57. The Ave Maria is really in the 17:15 cycle but the Vatican calendar still gets it wrong at 17:30. Today is the Feast of … Read More
Rome 24/10 – Day 38: fast
For the sunrise it was 06:48, ever later. For the sunset, 16:59, ever earlier. The curial calendar is still stuck on 17:30, but it ought to be 17:15. These people. Thank you, Lord, for this day. Quite a lot happened, … Read More
