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

A different “Game Of Thrones” opener
On another note, this is amusing. The Roman version of the opening sequence of Game of Thrones (which I think pretty much everyone on the planet watches).
The Atlantic: the Eclipse is racist
The Atlantic is pretty much a joke. However, they take themselves seriously. This story seems… seems… not to be an intentional joke. Read and be amazed. It exemplifies the Left. You can’t make this up. From Daily Caller: The … Read More
A reader has fun with a seminarian, a great book, and an “ordination tambourine”
A seminarian sent this… Hello Father, I wanted to let you know that one of your readers, upon reading this post, sent me a copy of Pope Emeritus Benedict’s new book on the priesthood. I received it a few days ago … Read More

Response to Ivereigh, Winters, etc. – Model of behavior for converts rooted in the Apostolic Tradition?
Austen Ivereigh wrote a seriously imprudent piece about converts. Ed Peters schooled Ivereigh about what converts means. HERE However, one of the comments under my post about that deserves special attention. Saul of Tarsus was an (initially unwilling) convert. So there. So … Read More
Wherein a popular beer is renamed to honor priests
Remember the recent story about the priests who denied entry to a pub in Wales because the bouncer didn’t know what they were wearing… who they were? They were eventually admitted with apologies and applause and it all worked … Read More
When Tinkeritis STRIKES!

Wherein Michael Sean Winters responded to Fr. Z’s gift of the Combat Rosary
The other day I posted about sending a Combat Rosary to Fishwrap‘s Michael Sean Winters, who had had a little nutty about “militaristic” imagery. I wondered whether or not MSW would acknowledge receipt. Today, I see that he responded! HERE Lastly, Fr. … Read More

From the sometimes amusing Eye Of The Tiber: The largest cross-boarder Lefeverist smuggling tunnel to date was discovered in a midnight raid earlier today by Swiss Guards. The smugglers fled, abandoning contraband with a street value of over 3 million euros. … Read More
