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

Beatification homily for John Paul I: just another occasion to bash people who love Tradition
Today there was a ceremony held in St. Peter’s Square for the beatification of the short-lived Pope everyone forgets to remember, John Paul I, Luciani (+1978). In his sermon for the event, Francis seems to have doubled down on the … Read More
VIDEO: Another example of Francis “unique expression” of Novus Ordo (turn your volume down or you will frighten the dogs of the neighborhood)
The Vetus Ordo is against Vatican II! That’s why it has to be crushed and the people who want it marginalized and demoralized to the point that they will quite simply leave the Church. Instead, what will bring about the … Read More

The Novus Ordo is the unique expression?
The oppressors of the faithful who desire the Vetus Ordo, on the obviously pure fantasy about a “unique expression” of the Roman Rite which was mandated by Vatican II are essentially hypocrites. The Novus Ordo is the unique expression? Try … Read More
