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

Twitter and Parler
A while back I discovered how Twitter imposed with algorithms what my “interests” are on my account. An astonishing list of things I’ve never even heard of, much less had interest in. I understand that Twitter uses these checked boxes … Read More
