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

More images from Detroit
Some other images from Detroit. There is a reason why the parish where I am staying is called Assumption Grotto. The parish is dedicated to the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin, but behind the parish church there is a fine … Read More

Photos of Call To Holiness and Sunday Solemn Mass (1962MR)
Diane at Te Deum has posted some great photos from yesterday’s Call to Holiness Conference in Detroit, at the National Shrine of the Little Flower. You may know that Call to Holiness was started as a response to the awful … Read More
Ah… rest!
After a long day with the conference and meeting so many people, tiring to be sure, it is nice to retire to the visitor’s quarters at the rectory and relax. To the unmistakable sound of automatic gun fire. I suspect … Read More

Pitching duel in the Bronx
Into the 6th, there has been a pitching duel: the intrepid and noble Twins 0 and the hated Yankees 0. The Twin have finally struck and struck first. End of the inning, Twins 1 Yanks 0. Go Twins!
Another reason why we needed Summorum Pontificum
In the dark days of seminary, we were forced to use a "substantial" bread for the Eucharist that was notable not only for its vile taste but its amazing qualities of being entirely resistant to moisture and its indestructibility. I … Read More

What do you call people from Detroit? Detroitites? Detroitians? Detroiters? (Okay… I can hear the jokes now… really… I just don’t know! It’s not supposed to be a straight line.) Anyway, I have had quite a few e-mails from people … Read More
