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

Speaking of Eucharistic Processions…
This is too good not to share. Corpus Christi may have passed for this year, but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy the reportage, even from years ago. John XXIII on Corpus Christi 1960. Compare and contrast? Interesting details.
