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

I saw this interesting factoid at Rorate Caeli (which Introit we have this week). From the Diary of Saint Faustina Kowalska: What is this? A… synchronicity? A coincidence pure and simple? A foreshadowing? A divine breadcrumb? “But ‘Father’! But ‘Father!’”, … Read More
