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

Wherein Tucker cites Viganò about the Wuhan Devil
Tucker Carlson last night mentioned Archbp. Viganò. Perhaps he can be excused for mispronouncing his name. His point is good. A friend let me know about this. I stopped watching Fox after “Election” night.
