“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

How about this? “Cradle Catholics should speak less, listen more.”
Michael Sean Winters, the Wile e. Coyote of the liberal catholic Left at the Fishwrap, and hyper-liberal Massimo “Beans” Faggiolo at Villanova, and the papalatrous gnostic Austen Ivereigh at Crux have incited a little war on converts recently. According to … Read More

Is ‘Amoris laetitia’ compromised because of ghostwriter plagiarism?

John Allen on Summorum Pontificum: “Most Catholics who wanted access to the older Mass already had it”

Wherein Fr. Z sends his readers to Crux… yes… you read that right.

Two African Cardinals standing up!
In the lead up (already) to next October’s Synod, the continuation of last October’s wild ride with its bizarre rules, backroom maneuvers, and strange proposals, Africa (pace Card. Kasper) is coming into its own. I saw this at the National … Read More
John Allen pulled a fast one over at Crux about the Synod
A preliminary list of some of the bishop-members of next October’s Synod of Bishops to discuss “the family” has been released. There are big holes in the membership still, since many conferences haven’t yet elected officers, etc. You can tell … Read More

Crux – Fr. Z’s initial observations
