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

The Vetus Ordo shall not go away and for good reasons. VIDEO. Wherein Fr. Z rants about the Vetus and the Novus.
The Vetus Ordo is not going away. No matter how much pressure and repression, no matter how much persecution of priests and marginalization of lay people certain “shepherds” apply, it will remain and grow stronger in ways they fear more … Read More
Coincidences? I think not.
I recently wrote: I am convinced that one of the reasons certain bishops and priests seem determined to suppress the TLM and isolate, marginalize the people who want it is because the TLM unsettles, disturbs, annoys, irritates, needles, vexes clerics … Read More
ASK FATHER: Should displaced Catholics attend the Novus Ordo? Wherein Fr. Z rants.
I begin with his peroration… Perhaps the bishops are not thinking about the liturgy at all, but about the people – whose devotion they envy, and whose moral conservatism they detest. Is that it? Are they more to be punished … Read More
My View For Awhile and Days 3-4 of the spiffy St. Paul Center Conference for priests.
The conference has wrapped up and every one has returned home… or… they aren’t there anymore. The Conference was terrific. I would go every year and I warmly recommend it to my priest readers. HERE BTW… many of the guys … Read More

ROME 22/06 – Day 32: My View For Awhile
I was up with the Roman sun at 5:37 but I won’t be around for the sunset at 20:52. I won’t be around to hear – or not hear – the Ave Maria bell ring in Vatican City at 21:15. … Read More
ROME 22/06 – Day 31: Someone saw the list… no… the Letter!
Rome greeted somewhat less blazing sun at 5:36 and shall bid the chariot to depart at 20:52. The Ave Maria remains in the 21:15 cycle. It is the Feast of the Most Precious Blood and this month is dedicated to … Read More

ROME 22/06 – Day 23: Resistance is futile
