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

VIDEO: Robert Royal and Fr. Murray on EWTN about ‘Traditionis’
Note the observation, not lost on me, that Francis complained in his Letter, about problems with the Novus Ordo. When will Francis crack down on abuses in the Novus Ordo?
BISHOP: “Francis used a chainsaw when only a scalpel was needed.”
From the Bishop of Providence (a providential name), Most Rev. Thomas Tobin: Upon reflection, it seems that in addressing the “problems” of the traditional Latin Mass community-real or perceived-Pope Francis used a chainsaw when only a scalpel was needed. We … Read More
