Fr. Z's Blog show

Summary: In today’s PODCAzT I read just a bit of a fairly recent book by Peter Kwasniewski: Noble Beauty, Transcendent Holiness: Why the Modern Age Needs the Mass of Ages US HERE – UK HERE It has a foreward by the great Martin Mosebach, author of The Heresy of Formlessness (a must read, a hard read but richly rewarding). Firstly, I could read Peter’s prose forever.  He writes with clarity and great force, which surely reflect both his deft mind and his convictions. Next, I think we may have a Vulcan Mind-Meld going on. And since a recently the world marked the 50th anniversary of the death of Giovanni Guareschi, we have another installment about the fictional not-quite-saint don Camillo Tarocci, (+ A.D. … ?), tough guy and parish priest. Some time ago, I began a to read stories from The Little World of Don Camillo by Guareschi.   US HERE – UK HERE Today we hear the stories:  The Meeting and The River Bank
