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

ASK FATHER: “While I don’t like seeing female Eucharistic ministers, from a spiritual perspective how can it be worse than lay men?”
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I understand that before Vatican 2, only the priests distributed Holy Communion. There are conservative people who think that it is fine for lay men to be Eucharistic ministers if need be, but not women. While … Read More

WDTPRS – – 17th Sunday after Pentecost – Diabolical Contagion
Is this prayer appropriate today or what?!? It seems to me that we can see what we are praying against at nearly every level of the Church today. Some are witless about it, others are witting. Among the witting, some … Read More
WDTPRS – 15th Sunday after Pentecost: The Church is taking on water. Is she sinking?
For the last few years I’ve had a terrible inkling that the Church hit an iceberg and is taking on water faster than it can be pumped. It has ever been so, in cycles, since the Lord’s Ascension. The Church … Read More
KaBOOM – Fr. Joseph Gelineau: “The Roman rite as we knew it no longer exists. It is destroyed.”
