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

Card. Müller: “[I]t is “better to vote for a good Protestant than for a bad Catholic.”
Holy Church is precisely for sinners, for bad Catholics. The Lord is going to sort us all out in good time, as in the parable of the wheat and the tares. Everlasting bliss for some, eternal agony and fire for … Read More

VIDEO: How are newcomers to the Traditional Latin Mass treated?

The chaos and violence in our summer streets this year are the vile fruits of an increasingly leftist, ideological, politicized public education system. The idiots in the streets, embracing fantasies about Marxism imbibed in school room, are doing precisely what … Read More
Jackass priests who screw around with the forms (essential words) of sacraments. Wherein Fr. Z rants.
How many times over the years have I written on this blog about priests who fool around with the forms of sacrament, the necessary words to be pronounced? How many? A lot. Very few things disturb people more than not being … Read More
