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

Pet peeves about the Rapture
There is an odd theory among some Christians called "the Rapture". With no solid basis in Scripture, some think that, as the End approaches, suddenly the "saved" will disappear. The rest of us poor souls will be left in this … Read More
WDTPRS: 4th Sunday after Pentecost – COLLECT (1962MR)
Today’s prayer is found in ancient sacramentaries, such as the Veronese and the “Hadrian” version of the Gregorian, and the so-called Gelasian. It is unchanged in the “Tridentine” form of the Missale Romanum as my trusty copy of the 1570MR … Read More
