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’ll frontload what I end with. Dioceses, parishes, schools… which all have teams that increase the cost of “SaaS” … you name it, could save huge money and have all their data safe and secure. And they wouldn’t be using … Read More
