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

Jesuit-run Amerika Magazine on Leo XIV and what to do about people who desire traditional sacred worship (TLM)
Jesuit-run Amerika Magazine bravely comments about Leo XIV and the TLM … behind a paywall. (There are ways….) Mind you… anything or anyone jesuitical commenting on liturgy should right away be held as suspect. There are exceptions. Is this one? … Read More

The execrable BoB, Happy Water, and You (UPDATED with a POLL)
Concerning the origins of the dreadful “Book of Blessings” (De Benedictionibus), which ironically doesn’t bless anything. I thought there was one prayer which truly blessed, an option for a rosary with the traditional version they ported in, but they changed … Read More
Coincidence…. I think… yeah! Msgr. Bux new BOOK on the leaked bishops survey about Summorum Pontificum.
Diane put out the “leaked” report about the bishop’s survey that didn’t go Francis way, so Francis went his own way and issued the stunning failure Taurina cacata… Traditionis custodes. Last night being somewhat restless, I cruised about on the interwebs … Read More
Good videos about the leaked document and what might happen next
Some good comments in these videos about the leaked report about the survey of bishops. Francis used it to go ahead and do what he wanted and imposed his whim by issuing Taurina cacata…. Traditionis custodes. I think Robert Royal’s … Read More
