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

Southern Baptists: Same-sex “rights” are NOT the same as civil rights

Some Z-Swag “in the wild”!
Over at The Chant Cafe I saw a couple photos of some Z-Swag “in the wild”. Fun! And since a motorcycle fuel tank has two sides… I saw Lex Orandi car magnet out on the highway the other day. Gratifying.
