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

“Dear Holy Father… about my car….” Wherein Fr. Z offers advice to priests about vehicles.
I’ve been giving a lot of thought to Pope Francis’ war on new cars for priests and religious. HERE. I saw this in an article in the Vatican’s underground satirical newspaper LA CIPOLLA: […] Priests far and wide are now … Read More
