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

WSJ cartoon against Bp. Morlino with a workshop on the WSJ’s lack of professionalism
Again and again we see liberals and the MSM (virtually all liberal) cherry-pick a quote of Pope Francis and then run with it as if, by itself, it actually means something profoundly in harmony with their liberal agenda. I saw … Read More
Voris on Francis, off-the-cuff remarks, and the MSM
Here is Michael Voris on the “Who am I to judge!” line from Pope Francis on the airplane. He puts his foot wrong in calling Msgr. Ricca a bishop (he isn’t) but that doesn’t change the substance of what Voris … Read More

HuffPo: You can’t be a Republican (who hate and mock the poor) and a Christian
At HuffPo there is a stunningly dopey headline over a stunningly dopier opinion piece by someone named Larry Atkins, whom I don’t recall ever having heard of before. Headline: Why Would a Christian Want to Be a Republican, in Light … Read More

A tactic
We are starting to see more often now the heterodox attack orthodox defenses of Catholic doctrine as “turning against the poor”. In the combox here, under a post about Bp. Morlino, someone tried to slither in a snarky implication that … Read More

The nuns aren’t happy. That is to say the LCWR nuns aren’t happy. All the traditional sisters are happy. It seems that the LCWR’s Vatican Overlord is going to attend the whole of the LCWR meeting at the swanky Royale … Read More

Wherein Fr. Z offers kudos to Jamie Manson and shares her pain
It isn’t often that I can give “Fr Z Kudos” to the Fishwrap’s Jamie Manson (openly lesbian activist, mentored by Sr. Margaret Farley, and darling of the LCWR). In the wake of Pope Francis’ comments on the airplane about homosexuals … Read More

Sr. Kane (of “NUNS GONE WILD” fame) on Pope Francis’ feelings. Wherein Fr. Z rants and has some fun.
First, take a look HERE. This is where the Holy See posted the transcript of Pope Francis’ chat with newsies on the flight back to Rome from Rio. From what I can tell, it is the whole thing and in … Read More
Church invaded by pro-abort attackers, confessionals and altars desecrated
I have been saying that we are going to see more direct, physical attacks on the Church – on churches – from both pro-homosexuality and pro-abortion (pro-sterility and pro-death) advocates. I saw this at CNA with my emphases and comments: … Read More
Pres. Obama praises Communist dictator, mass murderer Ho Chi Minh

Obama Administration forced same-sex bathrooms, locker rooms at California schools
Remember the gender bender story from a few days ago about legislation in California that would “require public schools in his state to allow students to choose which bathrooms, locker rooms and sports teams match their gender identity.” HERE Keep … Read More
