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

Vancouver sights
They say there are mountains around Vancouver. I don’t believe it. There is only a solid gray science fiction like void of clouds. I could be in Gary, Indiana, for all the mountains I see here. Anyway… without mountains, I … Read More
