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

“Remember, boy, it’s 20 minutes, amice to amice.”
At Rorate I read some Q&A with Card. Roche of the Roman Dicastery tasked with liturgical issues, including persecuted the people who desire the Traditional Latin Mass. It’s not just about the form of Mass, it’s about the people… they … Read More

During this “watch”, each evening at St Peter’s Gregorian chant is sung… but hardly anyone sings. Why is that?
From a priest reader… As I’m sure you’ve noticed, each night in St. Peter’s Square, a small schola has sung the Oremus pro Pontifice for the Holy Father. It’s a gesture that is simultaneously reverent and traditional, yet incredibly simple. … Read More
