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

Wherein Fr. Z agrees with …. Fr. James Martin… !?
Words I never thought I would write. I agree with Fr. James Martin, SJ, on this one. "Mr. Ratzinger"? Apparently The New York Times Style Manual was written by someone who was high, unconscious or both. http://t.co/b5HbCb9XeU — James Martin, … Read More

Fr. Swamp Fox, the Catholic Maquis, and You. Wherein Fr. Z rants.
I have written “Be The Maquis!” a few times. Why? Right now liberals – who misread Pope Francis and shamelessly instrumentalize him – are emboldened. They sense that they have the big mo, and, given the help they receive from … Read More

WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE? Francis and the ‘c’atholic Left.
Liberals, living in Nephelokokkygia, think that Pope Francis is “teachable“. When he confounds their expectations and does something Catholic, they say, “He’ll come around.” When he makes sharp negative remarks about radical feminists, they respond, “We’ll guide him him.” And then … Read More
Exploding the canard of a dichotomy between liturgical solemnity and ministry to the poor
Some years ago, when in my church in Italy I regularly had sung Novus Ordo Masses in Latin, with Gregorian chant and polyphony by Palestrina and Giovanelli, I was accused by liberal priests that I was not allowing the poor … Read More

What consequences should the Kenya terror attack bring about?
By now you all know about the horrific attacks in Kenya by Islamic terrorists against non-Muslims. It saddens me, and alarms me, that several of the terrorists had US passports and that they were living in my native place. Let … Read More
NARAL screwed up big time over Pope Francis’ TBI, but they still “win”.
People are sending me a link which they found on Pewsitter. The ultra-radical pro-big-business abortion group NARAL committed a massive blunder in posting to their Facebook page a “thank you” card to Pope Francis for his comments in TBI™ (aka … Read More
