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

Quick thoughts about Archbp. Viganò’s Letter to Pres. Trump
I’ve had a lot of people asking me via email to comment – or rather why I haven’t commented – on Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò’s Letter to Pres. Trump (V2POTUS). I’ve been busy! However, a little gap of time before … Read More

The unhinged Left now turns to satanism, witchcraft to fight Pres. Trump, Justice Kavanaugh
Under another post I mentioned something about libs, Dems, turning to witchcraft to fight Pres. Trump. Several of you have sent notes about a plan for “witches” to gather in Brooklyn and… and… sorry, I just had an image of … Read More
Wile. E. Defarge goes to the zoo.
