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

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.

In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Bad translation in English version of Exhortation about Latin
For a long time I have warned people about bad English translations of papal documents. There are methodological problems in that the documents are no longer composed in Latin. The Latin text, which is the official text, is itself a … Read More

Houston, we have a problem
Some of you will have seen that hosting company suspended my account again tonight. The stats here really took off day, I am sure because of the Apostolic Exhortation. That made the server admin geeks turn off the site. What … Read More
The Exhortation is out. My first observations.
I am still in the process of absorbing the document but I can make some observations. First and foremost, if you were expecting Pope Benedict to "hammer" someone or let his inner Vader out, you were as naive as you … Read More
Exhortation is out.
I was at the Press Conference for the release of the Post-Synodal Exhortation. It is huge and complicated and I will need time to absorb it and figure out how to present it. However, I can say that there is … Read More
Interesting
So tonight I get online and find that my hosting service MIDPHASE (with whom I had problems last week) had suspended my account. They gave me 24 hours to upgrade. Interesting. No? I find the timing interesting. It is the … Read More

What do you miss?
What do you miss? I miss this. I shot this at the Habemus Papam exhibit at the Lateran today. Great exhibit.
Gloves
Some photos of a Pontifical Mass in Stamford (CT) using the older, pre-Conciliar rite, are posted online. I like this one of His Excellency Bishop Cordileone (great name) of San Diego with all too rarely seen pontifical gloves:
“If a man has a hundred sheep,…”
Just in case you missed it, there was an excellent observation made in a comment in this thread, concerning His Eminence Roger Card. Mahony’s lack of interest in those who desire the so-called "Tridentine" Mass. Here it is. …the Archdiocese … Read More
PODCAzT 06: St. Augustine on the woman at the well
It’s podcast time, so here we go again! Let’s dig into some Augustine of Hippo on this 3rd Sunday of Lent. I was going simply to use the English provided in the English language breviary but the translation is SO … Read More
See a problem here?
In a very beautiful church in Rome, on the Quirinal Hill, S. Andrea al Quirinale, you will see many beautiful things, including the tomb of St. Stanislaus Kostka. You also see this. Is this not absurd? Really nice table, huh? … Read More
Motu proprio to “coordinate” the two Rites?
I have often said that the best "Tridentine" solution would be to coordinate the calendars of the older and the newer Missal in some way and allow the use of the new prefaces in the older rite. In this way, … Read More
This needs your caption
"Eminenza, you’re my Cardinal, and I love you. But don’t ever take sides with anyone against the Family again. Ever."

Can any of you who may be in Rome reading this tell me where you can find this whimsical stone! I might give you a prize if you can come up with the spot.
Card. Mahony on Tridentine Mass
His Eminence Roger Card. Mahony had an online chat session recently from the Religious Education Congress in Anaheim, Calif (which some call "The Three Days of Darkness"). His Eminence responded to a question about the "Tridentine" Mass: James: … Read More
PODCAzT 05: Ambrose: De fuga saeculi

9 March: S. Francesca Romana
I am reather devoted to St. Frances of Rome for reason of personal history. Thus, I took a trip to her church today, S. M. Nova on the Roman Forum. Here are a couple shots. And some vestments? The music … Read More
