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.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

I am in Plymouth diocese Uk. In 2007 you published a letter from Bishop Christopher Budd on Summorum Pontificum, about which you had many comments. Today at Mass we learnt that he has banned Communion on the tongue and Communion under both species will also not be available. His reason, the swine flu pandemic. There has been 1 confirmed case in his diocesen which spans 3 counties. Trying to get more info for you.
Another journey home from work, another dose of catachetics! Many thanks for this mission, Father.
At the risk of annoying people, though, I wonder if the influence of the times is unduly present in the encyclical, and that, while accepting it in its totality, we might more profitably concentrate on some parts more than others.
