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

Fr. Finigan @FatherTF and the importance of memorization
From time to time I comment on the importance of memorization in our life of the Faith. Memorization was demonized by libs. The reason is obvious. Once a person memorizes something, it is his. It sticks in him, sometimes waiting years … Read More
