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

An interesting video from a completely trad “personal apostolic administration”
In Brazil, within the Diocese of Campos, there is a “Personal Apostolic Administration” dedicated to St. John Vianney (PAASJV). Just as there is a “Personal Ordinariate” for former Anglicans, which have their own governance and liturgical books, etc. and … Read More
ASK FATHER: Can we eat meat today, Friday, Feast of the Sacred Heart or must we abstain?
A couple people have asked today about Friday abstinence from meat. Canon 1251 of the Code of Canon Law for the Latin Church says: Can. 1251 Abstinence from meat, or from some other food as determined by the Episcopal Conference, … Read More
Intense image of the Sacred Heart and YOU – ACTION ITEM!
This striking detail from a print by the Catholic artist Daniel Mitsui. It is inspired in part by the visions of Gertrude and the 1467 Sanctus Salvator. Even the small details, the little animals that are scattered through the background, have … Read More

Parents who turn their daughters into quasi-prostitutes
This morning I had a debate with myself. Ought I or not to cancel my subscription to Claremont Review of Books? This same morning I serendipitously solved the debate through a fortunate click over to Ann Barhardt’s page. Ann posted … Read More

In paroeciis, ubi coetus fidelium traditioni liturgicae antecedenti adhaerentium stabiliter [previously continenter] exsistit, parochus eorum petitiones ad celebrandam sanctam Missam iuxta ritum Missalis Romani anno … Read More

REVISITED: Moral Injury, traditional Catholics and burnt out priests
Sometimes I go back to look at what I posted on this day of the year in the past. This is from last year, 2020. It was an interesting question at the time because COVID 1984 Theater was ramping up. … Read More
ACTION ITEM! Novena for the preservation of Summorum Pontificum. Save The Liturgy – Save The World
Today I saw at the French site Notre-Dame de Chrétienté a proposal for a Novena to St. Joseph to maintain the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum. If there is a threat to Summorum, this is a good thing to do. If there … Read More
ASK FATHER: Cursed by a witch through a dating site. Now really bad things are happening.
From a reader… QUAERITUR: Hi Father, Here is a hard one, and a subject you would probably rather avoid. But I truly need to talk to someone and I hope you can offer a few words of advice. What happened … Read More
ACTION ITEM: Fathers, do not wait any longer. It’s time. Get things in gear NOW.
I’ll lead off with a mind exercise. It is possible that the rumored document that would undo Benedict XVI’s “emancipation proclamation” Summorum Pontificum is actually founded on a well-constructed campaign of disinformation. It could be a psy-op designed to get “trads” to … Read More
