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

Fr. Z’s Kitchen and Sacristy: Starching a linen corporal to a glassy finish
A project. Recently, at Corpus Christi, I recalled the story of the Eucharistic miracle at Bolsena during which a Host bled on a corporal, which spurred the institution of the feast. I got to thinking about corporals. A little light … Continue reading
Another vain attempt to impose Novus Ordo lockstep unity on the faithful: Archdiocese of Seattle
It is at least ill-advised to attempt the same thing again and again and again with unvarying poor results, and yet keep on the poorly chosen course. Yet another discouraging example of episcopal over-reach, in the interest in trying to … Continue reading
Good podcast about Gregorian Chant in a parish setting
Here is an interesting podcast with Fr. Mark Moriarty, the pastor of my home parish in St. Paul, St. Agnes Catholic Church. He interviews, Mark Pilon and Paul LeVoir, two of the men chiefly involved with the Gregorian chant Schola … Continue reading
The priest’s traditional Vesting Prayers – Wherein Fr. Z rants
A while ago I ranted about wanting the “salt” back in the Holy Water. Of course I bless Holy Water every Sunday, and I use exorcised and blessed salt. What I mean by “salt” in this context, are the other … Continue reading
WISCONSIN: Churches specifically targeted with restrictions as other buildings open. ACTION ITEM!
This. Where I am, after the county said that churches could open up to 25% capacity, like many businesses such as gyms and movie theaters, they then reversed their rule and will now force churches to have only 50 people, … Continue reading
ASK FATHER: You are against dropping Hosts onto hands, but you drop the Host every day during Mass!
From a reader… QUAERITUR: Father Z your blog is great and I’ve learn many things on it. I have to point out an inconsistency. On 5 May you yourself had a “spittle-flecked nutty” about a diocese which tells priests to … Continue reading
Wherein Fr. Z rants and points a finger
In another post, I commented on some good points made by Joseph Shaw in a piece at HPR. I want to return to Shaw’s piece for some final points. Picking up toward the end… […] It certainly would not have … Continue reading
PRIESTS! BISHOPS! Do what only YOU can do: exorcise and bless. ACTION ITEM!
As I wrote elsewhere: The fact that very often when the Lord healed the sick, he also performed an exorcism, and the fact that Paul connected not discerning the Body and Blood of the Lord with physical illness and death, … Continue reading
Wherein Fr. Z rants about repression of Communion on the tongue and about a “new normal”.
I saw a video recently of a young canonist whom I am pretty sure is a good and solid guy, well-versed. He makes an argument that, yes, a bishop can on his own authority, because of urgent need, override the … Continue reading
As Masses open up, priests told to DROP Hosts onto hands, Communion on the tongue is banned
As public Masses start up again, people are sending notes with indications from different dioceses about distribution of Holy Communion. Under the excuse of being “realistic” and so forth, chanceries are writing for their bishops – I prefer to believe … Continue reading
OLDIE PODCAzT 084: Quo Primum of St. Pius V (1570) and the Missale Romanum – “henceforth, now, and forever”
I’ve been getting questions about the infamous “survey” sent out to bishops about Summorum Pontificum and its implementation (or more likely NOT!) in their dioceses. I wrote about it HERE. The important thing is not to panic and act like … Continue reading
