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

Tulips
Not quite like my view of a couple years ago… At that time our frequent contributor “Andrew” wrote: Quemadmodum vero tulipae, quae sub vesperam ingruentem se claudunt, sole illustri panduntur; ita virtus et eruditio, post Dei benedictionem, floret laetius.
Fr. Z’s Day Off
With the exception of a few great days in Boston, the three weeks or so have been less than optimal. Isn’t it amazing how much smaller your world becomes when you are ill? And how quickly? Yesterday, finally feeling better … Read More

I received a note from folks who are putting out the “Magnificat” style magazine but for the Traditional Roman Rite, Laudamus Te. They have put their project on hold for a bit as they work through translations and so forth. … Read More

With regret, leaving Boston. It was a great trip. Thanks to everyone, especially my kind host at Harvard.
“Mr. Jesuit”
I spent some time today with students at Boston College (which for a fan of Golden Gopher hockey took some doing). Among the many interesting things I saw and heard about was a statue of St. Ignatius of Loyola, variously … Read More
A day can hardly be better than this!
Yesterday I was able to spend the whole day with students from Harvard, Boston College, Oxford and Princeton, in the Boston Museum of Fine Arts and then at Fenway Park for a ball game. What a great day. Wonderful company. … Read More
Getting Hammered in Boston!
Not from the day’s revelries. I promised to post an image from the Museum of St. Margaret beating the Devil with a hammer. A bit fuzzy…but hey!
