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

I’m in. Thank you for the head’s up.
I’d also like to plug the 9 month novena for impossible requests that also starts next month, and goes from March 25 (Annunciation) to December 25 (Christmas).
Excellent. My family will happily partake in this endeavour. Thanks for making us aware! Very good stuff.
How can we say no to this holy Cardinal and Our Mother!
I click on “join the movement” and nothing happens. Do you have to have an “X” account already?
I’m in.
St. Juan Diego pray for us and with us.
I signed up, but I hope/assume details will follow. Unless I missed it, I’m not even sure what novena will be prayed. Is it every day for nine months?
Also, I understand that it’s the style now-a-days, but I’m not a fan of the over-produced videos. Too much music, too many cuts inter-splicing random (but “stirring”) images in between Cardinal Burke’s message – it makes the whole thing come across as too slick and more of a Hollywood production than a serious matter. I noticed this same style in both the Mass of the Ages material as well as the Remnant run Catholic Identity Conference. I’m not saying we have to aim for “boring” – but when everything which comes out of main stream media is a lie and propaganda, do we really want to ape their “style” in our own messages? Perhaps we’re at such an intellectual ebb now-a-days folks feel there’s no other way to “reach” people? But a forewarning against artificially created fervor – it fades fast.
Right. I’m in, even though I am not American.
Of course I signed up – but I nearly didn’t, after the video started out with “the invasion of Palestine” – the invasion on October 7th was of Israel by Hamas.
Why politicize the novena? Why not just say something non-aligned like “the current conflict in the Middle East” or “the conflict between Israel and Hamas”? Leading with “invasion of Palestine” is like fretting about the bombing of Berlin instead of the invasion of Belgium.
It concerns me that the makers of the video, if not Cdl. Burke himself, chose to lead off with “invasion of Palestine.”
