"Eminenza, you’re my Cardinal, and I love you. But don’t ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever."
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

“I’ll give the liberals an offer they can’t refuse”
A good-bye brush to Cardinal Mahoney clearing the way for the elevation of Coredeleone to Los Angeles….
“And, if the French Bishops don’t like it – so what?”
“You want a piece of me?!”
I’ve never seen the Godfather movies, but this looks like a scene out of them.
Proof, if proof were needed, that Pope Benedict has ‘gone native’.
So I told that Kung, “Fuggidaboudid”.
The French again? They will sleep with the fishes!
You never call me Godfather.
That’s a spicy meatball!
The french bishops are leaving? “So be it”
I was thinking ‘meatball’ of Godfather too…
“That was a good-a sand-a-wich”
Bravo, Vincenzo!

Good photography,Vincenzo. When I enlarged the picture, it looks like you even managed to put Fr. Z behind the drivers seat. That Bugatti better be his Rome car. Doesn’t look like it would survive Minnesota and Wisconsin winters.
“When I enlarged the picture, it looks like you even managed to put Fr. Z behind the drivers seat.”
tj,
Thanks. There’s a larger color image of Father Z behind the wheel of the Bugatti in the comments area of an earlier blog that he posted on March 9: “About that Ferrari…”
Vincenzo
When did Pope Benedict learn to imitate Shecky Greene?
:)¡Ha, Ha, Ha! ¡Fantastic! It wasn’t Vicenzo who said this, it was Michael Corleone to his brother Fredo, in Godfather II in Las Vegas. Of course Michael Corleone sent to kill his brother after their mother’s death. Does the similarity stop there?
Papa Benedetto to Fr. Z at the Wednesday Papal Audience:
“Someday – and that day may never come –
I’ll call upon you to do a service for me.
But until that day, accept this MOTO PROPIO
expanding the use of the Tridentine Liturgy
as gift on this the day of the
anniversary of my ordination.”

Vincenzo: Could you make smaller links? The long links goof up the side bar.
Certainly. I’ll use another server from now on.
Whatsamatta you?
Vincenzo: Thanks for the good laugh. I love it!
“Mahoney, you’ve got your understanding of the Liturgy all wrong”
That’s my new background! I love it!
“Mahoney, vone more verd outta you and it’z a smack ‘upzide ze head!”
