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

My View For Awhile: Heading South Edition
It isn’t gray to travel when not feeling 100% but, ceteris paribus, I’m in pretty good shape. Small aircraft today, which always leads to that cramped feeling. It is a melancholy day when on FourSquare you become “mayor” of your … Read More

In The Wild: Mystic Monk and Z-Swag – hard to beat that
