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

QUAERITUR: Priest walking around the church during his sermon
From a reader: May a priest give his sermon off the altar and peripatetically — wander into the aisle of the nave to deliver it? I am not aware that there is any legislation which specifically forbids a bishop, priest or … Read More
QUAERITUR: Priest follows new translation but continues to say “for all” rather than “for many”
From a reader: My pastor uses the new translation of the Mass with the exception of the words “for many” at the consecration. He continues to use the words “for all.” I find that this bothers me. I would appreciate your opinion on … Read More

In the face of this sort of revolt, what does one do?
I am torn between, on the one hand, pity for these men whose priesthood and ministry was tainted from the onset by bad formation and poor leadership and, on the other, contempt for them as arrogant quislings. From Vatican Insider: … Read More

Benedict XVI’s Sermon for Corpus Christi: Jesus in our midst is the “beating Heart” of the home, city, country, territory
When I was in seminary, the faculty spoke with contempt of adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and treated seminarians with such a devotion with suspicion and fear. One of the things we heard was “Jesus said ‘Take and eat’ not … Read More
