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

My view for a while
And so we begin another trip. New author, too! I wonder if he will hold even a candle to Patrick O’Brian. I hope he ain’t a slubberdegullion or a blatteroon. UPDATE: Time for the next leg. This is starting out … Read More

My view for a while
With regret, leaving Boston. It was a great trip. Thanks to everyone, especially my kind host at Harvard.
“Mr. Jesuit”
I spent some time today with students at Boston College (which for a fan of Golden Gopher hockey took some doing). Among the many interesting things I saw and heard about was a statue of St. Ignatius of Loyola, variously … Read More

BOSTON: Saint….?
I am in Boston. Guys from BC picked me up at the airport. Being a Gopher Hockey kind of guy, I was a little conflicted about that. They won me over with a nice supper at a place with a … Read More
My view for a while
On the road. I feel sort of human. The antibiotics may be helping. Fairly short flights today and everything seems to be on time. None of Pres. Obama’s artificial, inflicted, political flight delays … yet. Yes, this is the book. … Read More
