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

Food for my cerebellum. Food for my reptilian brain stem. And my observation about coverage of The Present Crisis.
I unplugged for a while today. The stream of news – and the spin – got to me, simply put. The spinners have woven their devious clew to help them through the labyrinth while avoiding the minotaur in the maze: … Read More
