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

Underground and Overground
Today I visited the Churchill War Rooms (part of the Imperial War Museum). They were left nearly untouched after the war, which makes the trip much like a step back into time. Moving, to think of what was dealt with … Read More
