Taking our name from a childhood group of St. John Bosco, we study to eschew anything which causes sadness, that is, anything which is contrary to the will of God. Further, we exist to promote the living Tradition of the Catholic Church, mindful of the prayers of the living as well as the democracy of the dead, under the dual patronage of St. Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort, Apostle of Our Lady, and St. Pius X, Hammer of the Modernists.

Furthermore, now that we have a regular readership, we thought folks might like to know a bit about the people who make up this august Society for a Good Time. We are all graduate students or holders of PhDs with an average of 8 years of post-secondary education; we have three philosophers, a theoretical physicist, a biologist, a classicist and an engineer. Only two of us are cradle Catholics and at least four of the group were baptised in their 20s; we have a former Lutheran and Mormon as well as two ex-Anglicans.

God’s mercy is great and His ways are unsearchable, that such a group as we should have been given the grace to find the true Faith and to promote through this website Christ’s Spouse, our Holy Mother: the Catholic Church!

For the curious, our blogging schedule: Iacobus on Mondays, Iosephus on Tuesdays, Clara on Thursdays, and Ambrosius on Fridays. Of course, each of us posts on other days as well, but these are steady posting days that can, for the most part, be relied upon.
