“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

Fast growth in Paganism, Wicca (the joke that is no joke)
The modern made up “wicca” and “witch” thing is a combination of laughably stupid hokum and spectacularly dangerous demonic infiltration. The Enemy is perfectly fine with being involved with “games” (e.g., ouji, cards, etc) and this risible wicca rubbish, … Continue reading
Anglicans to mock baptism with transgender ceremony
UPDATE 14 Dec:
Rod Dreher put it well HERE.
At this rate, by 2030, they’ll be ordaining sexbots to preach to empty cathedrals.

More garbage from Germany: Communion for Protestants
That caput malorum omnium, Germany, has produced another nasty that will take years of effort to clean up, if it can ever be cleaned up.
LifeSite has it. A German bishop, Felix Genn of Münster, published
a guide about the pastoral care for married … Continue reading
Truly pathetic musings at the Fishwrap about priesthood and those halcyon days of Vatican II
The Fishwrap sure lived up to its name this time. Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) has gushy piece about a reunion of old men who were seminarians of class 1966 at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. The arrived in Rome in … Continue reading
In how many ways is this creepy?
We might make a list of how many ways this is a creepy.
From Fox:
Man, 35, reportedly marries computer hologram
Surrounded by nearly 40 people, a 35-year-old man reportedly married a virtual hologram earlier this month.
Akihiko Kondo, who works at a middle … Continue reading
HEADS WILL ROLL! A new “You won’t believe your eyes ugly” altar
You know about the flesh-eating amoeba that attacks brains? Part of the problem in the Church today is the worldly, spirit-eating amoeba that is eating the souls of bishops.
This is from La Repubblica.
Here is a new altar in the Basilica … Continue reading
Solipsistic, self-aggrandizing @FatherRosica dares to vet Catholic news sources
After the 2018 Synod (“walking together”) proposed that some authority should vet Catholic websites for their acceptability, THIS pops up.
Care to explain this, Fr Rosica? And, no, we won’t let you get away with claiming it’s not news because it was … Continue reading
Another really bad idea: Communion Pills
Even though there is no danger of true true sacrilege (these Protestants have no valid Eucharist or anything like), there is danger of idolatry… and of being kinda dumb.
Perhaps it’s a matter of lack of oxygen at higher altitudes?
I bring … Continue reading
The unhinged Left now turns to satanism, witchcraft to fight Pres. Trump, Justice Kavanaugh
Under another post I mentioned something about libs, Dems, turning to witchcraft to fight Pres. Trump.
Several of you have sent notes about a plan for “witches” to gather in Brooklyn and… and… sorry, I just had an image of hipster … Continue reading
A story of spectacular complexity, involving shady people, huge money, interlocking directorates, vast loans, and the Papal Foundation.
Read this.
Zenit reports.
Pope Francis on September 20, 2018, received in the Apostolic Palace Consistory Hall of the Vatican, the participants at the Conference of the Sons of Holy Mary Immaculate on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Venerable … Continue reading
One Mad Mom spanks James Martin, LGBTSJ – UPDATED
UPDATE:
I had a call from a friend who underscored her real shock at Martin’s ghastly suggestion in his tweets. The more I think about it, the more loathsome the true content of Martin’s tweets appears.
He told people that they shouldn’t … Continue reading
More Jesuit idiocy – BUT WAIT! There’s more!
This is something that was perpetrated in a JESUIT church in NYC, the once and still mostly beautiful St. Francis Xavier, which is part of a large and once important High School.
Watch and bite your lip till bloody. This was … Continue reading
Wile. E. Defarge goes to the zoo.
Something is screwy in the head of Madame Wile E. Defarge. To wit, in his recent twirl into sycophantic papalotry, he compares those who are calling for Francis to make things clear and help us properly to deal with the … Continue reading
“Gay” Parade in Rome with @JamesMartinSJ and a bishop close to the papal inner circle
Have you ever worked on a jigsaw puzzle where you didn’t have the finished photo? Slowly enough pieces fit together and you see what is the intended result.
This is in today’s La Verità, which broke The Viganò Testimony.
Guess who’s … Continue reading
Italian press in full, spittle-flecked nutty. Malicious idiocy from Beans and Wormtongue.
For those of you who read Italian here are a couple of pages of typical reportage.
The images are large if you open them in another tab or window.
First, Wormtongue writes for La Stampa. Notice that breathy Beans bubbles that those … Continue reading
