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

In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

Now what?
Logged in just fine.
Test works, I guess?
Logged in.
Test sat.
This test seems to work.
Confirming @Lurker59’s experience, but I backed out, and logged in from the normal log-in link at the top of the screen, and then returned to the page, rather than logging in directly from the post’s login option.

testing
So is this a test to see if certain posts can be kept on the downlow, or to see which readers are insufferably curious? :)

The test was a success Father.
This is a test! Clear your desks!
Have a great day Father Z
Lurker59: Thanks for spotting this :

I had a slip of the finger and encountered a glitch though I was able to sign in. So I used another browser to test again and it worked as expected. The glitch was mine and not the website or process.
It’s clearly not all *that* restricted if I’m able to get past the guards.

No, I don’t wish that I had taken the blue pill!
Works fine.
Hoc est tantum experimentum.
Worked for me
I’m on team insufferably curious, and this test gets an A- (minus the coding issues noted above.)
It worked
Was able to register
This is better than any test I’ve ever gotten from a doctor. Less discomfort and way less embarrassment for sure!
We’re always being tested.
Log in, successful
The site allowed me in right away based on the last time I logged in. I don’t see a method for logging-out right away so that I could test the logging-in function.
O.K., after I posted the above I noticed the log out link. Right in front of me. In red. So I can’t miss it. Proving my wife right once again: I never notice anything.
(I tried the log out and logged back in and, as you see, it worked.)
Worked!
Was able to log in. Passed the test?
Reporting for duty
I guess this makes me insufferably curious?
I could log in, Father. What next?
Did I pass???
Yup, I am here!
I brought the log in. Where’s the fire?
Deo gratias.
I think I passed the test?!!
Amen.
Did I pass?
New login. Cool.

Log. Cudgel. Brickbat. Tire iron. Any other tools I need to bring to this dogfight?
Ok, This actually got me to log in. I have had my login since last year and have been too busy to actually use it.
