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

You’ve been reading about the “Gay-la”, the “Fellini Rip Off”. I wrote earlier that it was sure to have made all the Jesuits present swell with pride. I then learned that Jesuit homosexualist activist James Martin, LGBTSJ, was there. A … Read More
