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

Card. Ruini on the source of Pope Benedict’s insistence on liturgy
Again I return to a constant theme of WDTPRS: Pope Benedict ‘s "Marshall Plan" to revitalize Catholic identity, our worship being the tip of the spear. We need to do this in order to keep the Church as a strong … Continue reading
“Why not bomb the Vatican, and riddle the Pope with bullets as he staggers out of the flames?”
The following is amazing, even for those of us who are used to reading unhinged hate-speech. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation reveals its true colors. I know about Godwin’s Law, but I suspect they may be Nazis sympathizers, given their hatred … Continue reading

Save The Liturgy – Save The World: a gloss on observations of Card. Cañizares

How to get bad news: a practicum
