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

The ‘c’atholic Left turns more and more against Pope Francis

US Federal Judge and atheist group tag-team attack churches, congregations

WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE? Francis and the ‘c’atholic Left.
