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

Today’s Mass Fervorino Intention: Benefactors Prayers Added: For enemies
I have good news and bad news
I’ve had some emails over the last months and weeks from deeply wounded, anxious souls who fear that, in regard to traditional sacred liturgical worship (TSLW), we have gone back to the 70’s and 80’s, all the gains from Ecclesia Dei and Summorum … Read More

OH THE HUMANITY! Overcoming a dire casearian lacuna.
There are serious problems in the world today. For example, at the grocery store I was recently confronted with this dire turn of fate’s merciless wheel. There is, it seems, a nationwide shortage of… CREAM CHEESE. Good grief… it’s like… … Read More

A good point about Holy Days of Obligation and our Catholic identity
At The Catholic Thing, John M. Grodelski makes an obvious but NOT thereby less valuable point. Let’s see. January 1, 2022 was a Saturday. January 1, 2023 is a Sunday. January 1, 2024 is a Monday. Only one of those January … Read More
Gregorian chant disc by FSSP seminarians tops the charts. I suspect that might annoy some people.
This disc of Gregorian chant and Christmas music has been on the top of the classical charts for weeks. It’s popularity must be increased. This is a concrete sign of what people want, not what is being forced by Rome et al. … Read More
