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

The Nightmare for Progressivists
The post by Mosebach got me thinking about something I have drilled at for a while now. Libs, progressivists, what ever you call them, are functioning within a blinkered paradigm. They have raised what they imagine the Council was about … Read More
