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

“You see, if you hold up Sacramentum Caritatis to the light, its true nature is revealed, the Motu Proprio in code!”
This document decrees that Father Z must have a Bugatti!
Okay people, “Read & Heed”!
(of course said in a “Sergeant Major” voice)
Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum; habemus Liturgiam: Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum
Ritum, Ritum Romanum Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Usum Traditionalem, cui alii nomen imposuit Tridentinum.

GOAL!!! I can’t release this Motu Proprio now… I have to finish watching this game.
“You vant to heah zis sermon or not? Look: two pages, only! All right, zen zip up your lips and listen!”
Those translators messed up the motu proprio yet again!!!!
– This is my explanation, why the Motu Proprio will not be issued
No, no! You’ve got it all wrong! I only gave PERMISSION for the PUBLICATION of the paper of the International Theological Commission about the limbo.
W dodatku tresc cytatu ni przypial ni wypial. Ani do MP, ani do Bugatti…
Bon voyage Fr. Z…but come back soon!
Mama Mia, can’t anyone translate Latin properly anymore!?!
“Back off, back off I say!” “I’m releasing this Motu Proprio
no matter how much you whine, cry and stomp your feet!”
Listen up everyone.I have term here that I wrote in 12th grade,on Sacred Beer,as was brewed in the Benedictine Monastary at Loewengeuth.
I’ll give it to the first Notre Dame theology student that corrects, to his face, Father McBriens heresy on the non existence of original sin.
Everyone who believes the NO Mass is withering on the vine raise your hands …
Everyone, everyone, ze rules of ze game “Rock, Paper, Ring” ist ser clear: I am ze Rock, I have ze Ring, und zis here paper covers everysink! Now everybody zitten zie down, und I vil instruct you…especially you bishops!
What am I going to do with the International Theological Commission? Just look at this nonsense!
Domo origato motu proprio
The Schism is ended. Go in peace.
Bingo!
“You hopeless bunch of Novus Ordo Missae Freaks!”
I am the one person in Rome who does not need Fr Zuhlsdorf’s help. I know what the prayer really says.
