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

Pope Benedict XVI on Corpus Christi processions and a rant from Fr. Z
Today is the true Feast of Corpus Christi. In many places the Feast of Corpus Christi gets an “external celebration” on Sunday. There’s nothing wrong with that, as it gives more people a change to participate. It is wonderful to … Read More
VIDEO: A Jesuit commentator hits it outta da park! Stark clear REALITY.
This is one of the best brief “tell it like it is” videos I’ve seen in a long time. Watch it. Watch it again. And send it to at least five people. Fr. Robert McTeigue, SJ
Viewing oppression in the Archdiocese of Detroit through the lens of a video

Leo XIV: “a very ‘say the black, do the red’ kind of priest”
It’s great to see a phrase you have popularized for so long that people now use it rather commonly. It’s even better when that phrase is used to describe our new Pope Leo XIV. Also of note in that screen … Read More
