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

Fr. Z’s Kitchen: Pres. Obama Purple Chicken Edition

Yet another Chinese food post!
I went to a great Chinese restaurant recently and they gave me crabs! Soft-shelled crabs, of course. They were both crunchy and soft at the same time. Sometimes they are prepared with Five Spice. These were heavy on the garlic. … Read More
QUAERITUR: Big groups for Confirmation. Wherein Fr. Z rants.
From a reader: 56 girls were recently confirmed. Isn’t that too big a group? I would rather have smaller groups, and the Archdiocese of ___ has no shortage of auxiliary bishops and vicars. There is no requirement in canon law … Read More
UPDATE on the tumult in Platteville. Bp. Morlino sends a letter to the community.
