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

Another voice calling for “Romanorum coetibus”

Bp. Vasa (D. Santa Rosa) getting blow-back for requiring Catholic teachers to adhere to Catholic ways
Remember what Bp. Vasa is doing in Santa Rosa? He is requiring that teachers in Catholic schools live – gasp! – according to Catholic teachings and mores. Imagine such a thing! The Cardinal Newman Society, which focuses on the … Read More

QUAERITUR: Extraordinary Ministers of Communion giving blessings as if they were priests

Papal spokesman on SSPX, last minute gesture from Pope Benedict
There has been some chatter about the possibility that before 28 February Pope Benedict would do something for the SSPX. An 11th hour sign of benevolence, perhaps. I doubted that. Today the papal spokesman, Fr. Federico Lombardi, SJ, mentioned this … Read More
