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

Strange Signs, the End Times and YOU
What times we are seeing. Benedict abdicated and lightning struck the dome of St. Peter’s. A Jesuit is elected. A Jesuit, who trashes the symbols of office and sows confusion. Catholics vote for pro-abortion politicians. Total eclipses draw an X over … Continue reading
FLORENCE: Dominicans to leave San Marco. Signs of the Times?
The last friar should turn off the lights. It seems that the last four Dominicans left at the famous San Marco (where the Beato Angelico rooms are) are leaving, transferring their flag to Santa Maria Novella. Thus, the centuries old … Continue reading
