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

In another entry on this blog there are questions and comments about having the "Tridentine" Mass in the vernacular. Apparently radio commentator Paul Harvey inaccurately launched some rumor about this. "But Father! But Father!", some of you are muttering. "That … Read More
The Motu Proprio considered ad intra & ad extra
Here is something I wrote for the paper: We won’t know the details of the Motu Proprio until it is promulgated, but we must consider several points. When a major document comes from the pen of a Pope, I always … Read More

This is from ANSA on the MP. They spoke with Card. Bertone. Here is an excerpt (my translation): "Leaks in circulation during the autumn of last year about the first draft of the Motu Proprio hypothisized that a request by … Read More
Out Of This World News!
You may think the news about the Motu Proprio is great, but this is out of this world. I think we can make some analogies with the derestriction of the older Mass, no? In any event, this is very cool … Read More

Italian TV coverage of the MP story
I just saw the SKY TG24 coverage of the meeting yesterday. They actually made some decent distinctions. For example, they made the point that after the Council, with the implementation of the Novus Ordo, something happened that was unheard of … Read More
