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

Strangely shifting news story title… does it reveal an agenda?
I saw some odd inconsistencies on the CBS site this morning about stories concerning comments made by the Cardinal Secretary of State, Tarcisio Bertone, in Chile. I noted in this Google search that titles of a story seems to have … Read More

PRAYERCAzT: Lauds (Breviarium Romanum)
I did this yesterday afternoon. I thought it might be interesting to see what happens in the morning. I turned on the mic and read Lauds from the Breviarium Romanum. Nothing fancy. Perhaps some weary priest out there might listen.

Omnibus omnia factus sum
From a reader: I thought perhaps you could use an anecdote today. I have my 8th grade students researching a project on whether the priest should face "ad populum" or "ad orientem." With this I posted a few articles from … Read More
QUAERITUR: good commentary on Sacrosanctum Concilium
From a reader: I am currently taking an Intro to Liturgy course for my MA in Theology program. I am not entirely sure that what is being taught is orthodox. The professor certainly seems to have a liberal bend. We … Read More
Is Benedict XVI a “better Pope” than John Paul II? A couple views and then Fr. Z really rants.
The Holy Spirit probably does not choose Popes. As Joseph Ratzinger explained before his own election, the Holy Spirit guides the choice of a Pope, or a Council for that matter, so that we don’t inflict irreparable damage on ourselves. … Read More
