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

What does the new Latin inscription really say? – “P.M.A.X.”
UPDATE: This was suggested by a reader… The letters “P. M. A. X” are not a – ridiculous – maltreatment of ‘P. MAX.’, but should be read as ‘P.M. A.X’, i.e. ‘Pontifex Maximus, anno decimo’. The work was done *in … Read More
