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

Search within the text for the word “reparation”. Zero.
I just read a “round up” of statements of US bishops about L’Affaire McCarrick, into which we fold the PA Report. I did a search within the text for the word “reparation”. Zero. “Penance” only was mentioned in the case … Read More
ASK FATHER: Can I go to a wedding at an SSPX chapel?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: Is it permissible to attend an SSPX wedding? I thought that the couple (or priest) would first need to request permission from the local bishop and then also have a diocesan priest at the wedding, but … Read More
