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

Newt on the Democrat Party’s extremist abortion plank and on liberal bias
Here is a really interesting video. Newt Gingrich goes off on some liberals about tax-payer funded abortion and liberal bias on Meet The Press. I would still have liked to see him mop the floor with the incumbent. [wp_youtube]m–3So-MtsM[/wp_youtube]

Democrat Convention Schedule. No… wait… could this be a joke?
I offer the following not because I would rather see the corpse of Millard Fillmore defeat Pres. Obama in the 2012 election, but because it is pretty funny. It could just be a gag, however. It doesn’t schedule praise for … Read More
Peregrinus Gasolinus: the rubrical adventure continueth
Some of you who pay attention to matters liturgical – in detail – might get an edifying kick out of Peregrinus Gasolinus. The nice folks from Romanitas Press have been reproducing it. Here is a note I received: Dear Father, … Read More
