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

An evening at Blackfen
We had supper tonight at the rectory Blackfen, the parish of His Hermeneuticalness. I cooked. We ended up ridiculing the 80’s for a while, as priests will do from time to time.
Before and After
On a recent visit to Westminster Cathedral I found some publications available to the public. I decided I better have a look. Not that I want to influence anyone…. you decide. Oh… by the way… click the image, above.

I noticed on the site of The Catholic Herald a blurb about a news story in The Guardian: Jesuit-educated Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe reminded the Archbishop of Canterbury that the Church of England is “a breakaway group from the Roman … Read More
Down With Evil Corporations!
Right now in NYC some idiots are out in the street protesting corporations. I saw some brief interviews with a cross-section of the protesters. They seemed to be faux-communists. Faux, because they seem not to have a clue what they … Read More
The Perfect Priest

BSOD
I got the BSOD the other day. Frightening, considering how I have been patching and mending the mother ship for a couple years now. Happily, when I rebooted, everything was working.
Lutheran Airlines
As a former Luderan from Minnesohta and someone who travels a lot, I found this pretty amusing. Find this on Dauckster.Posterous or click below.
