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

BOSTON: Saint….?
I am in Boston. Guys from BC picked me up at the airport. Being a Gopher Hockey kind of guy, I was a little conflicted about that. They won me over with a nice supper at a place with a … Read More
My view for a while
On the road. I feel sort of human. The antibiotics may be helping. Fairly short flights today and everything seems to be on time. None of Pres. Obama’s artificial, inflicted, political flight delays … yet. Yes, this is the book. … Read More

Wherein Fr. Z provides a health update and feverish ranting on a range of unrelated topics
Thanks to those of you who wrote with expressions of prayers for my health. An update is in order. I have been battling bronchitis. This has been a problem ever after all those years in Rome, I’m afraid. I suspect … Read More
Pope Francis and the cuillère à sauce individuelle and grand liturgy
Last night I watched a movie I haven’t seen in years from a brand new blu-ray disk (thanks CEF!) on the big hi-def screen: Babette’s Feast. This movie has it all. I can say “everything” now because it is the Pope’s … Read More

Noodle preparation fun!
I am a fan of the films of Zhang Yimou. Tonight I saw A Woman, A Gun, And A Noodle Shop (三槍拍案驚奇 Sānqiāng Pāi’àn Jīngqí). This is a surreal Chinese re-imagining of Blood Simple. Strange but intriguing. Like some of Yimou’s other … Read More
What is Pope Francis really saying?
Here is what I think Pope Francis is up to. In this explanation I am not necessarily endorsing specific things that he is doing (washing the feet of females in a prison) or not doing (refusing the mozzetta, etc.). I … Read More
Cooking in the Steam Pipe Trunk Distribution Venue

Dear Traditionalists,…
I had this from a reader. He said he was not advocating these things. However, liberals will advocate them. I’ve got some other suggestions. But first the wacky liberal stuff: I have an idea for a blog topic – how … Read More
