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. Burke on concelebration, priests ad-libbing and saying Mass in the state of mortal sin
As you know, I think concelebration should be safe, legal and rare. I also think that priests should stick to the words in the books and do what the rubrics say. I, moreover, think that priests who continue to commit … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Can Catholics join Rotary or the Elks, etc?

Of Episcopalians, Surgery, and Self-Parody
Episcopalians can be a rich treasure trove of self-parody. They just keep pushing those cusp issues so that they can stay in the news… thus, confirming their existence. I was sent this story: INDIANAPOLIS, IN: Bishops go Transgender at GC2012 … Continue reading
