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

A word for the wise (bishop) from Summorum Pontificum
Summorum Pontificum, Benedict XVI’s Motu Proprio, applies to the entire Latin Church. Bishops can’t override it. Some articles of SP get more attention than others. Here is one which might not be immediately present in your mind: Art. 7. Ubi aliquis coetus … Read More
