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

Sometimes I like the blogosphere
I noticed over at the blog Sober Inebriation – a great phrase with deep spiritual implications – that the undersigned was mentioned in a post about cooking. I did some memorable fishing as a kid. I shot this photo of … Read More

The Tablet equates striking the breast during the Confiteor with child abuse.
At The Tablet aka The Bitter Pill, there is a piece by one Melanie Lately, a guest contributor, which deserves our attention – and not because of its excellence. Commentators in the combox over there have dealt with the obvious … Read More
The Feeder Feed: death edition
I haven’t seen “Ray” the Cardinal for a while. He is usually in and out chomping on the saffron and sunflower. I was out for a walk earlier and found a dead male Cardinal. I suspect it was “Ray”. We … Read More

The Feeder Feed: some Orioles and a not-Oriole
Just a couple shots. The young Orioles are still around. They fight over the grape jelly. You lookin’ at me? Really blue.
Dissent into Hell – Fr. Z rants
Lately there has been a sharp uptick in the media – even “Catholic” media – in open and cavalier dissent from the Church’s teaching and the authority of her duly ordained pastors. Much of it seems to revolve around the … Read More
The Feeder Feed: variety edition
I haven’t been much inclined to post about the feeder these days, but figured it was about time to share a view or two. You’ve seen Ray before. He sees you, too. Being so very visible he is as wary … Read More
About Fr. John Corapi with observations about our times
I haven’t written much about Fr. John Corapi, because I honestly don’t know much about what is going on. I don’t know the details. But I am sad to read that he is leaving active ministry. I am profoundly sad. … Read More
