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: Gnocchi “Becciu” and a song that has nothing to do with him
Former Cardinal Becciu – whom I suspect will soon be indicted and perhaps extradited – was sacked on Thursday. I was so glad that it was Thursday, and not Wednesday or Friday… which are Ember Days. Instead, it was the … Read More
