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

My View For Awhile: Limping Homeward
It has been great, though slow going in NYC. Time to head home. I had access to the lounge this time in a new way. I am seriously irritated that Delta club membership will no longer be acknowledged by partner … Read More

Priests and Latin. Wherein Fr. Z rants.
Since I posted on the issue of the Latin text of Benedict’s resignation and brought up, again, the issue of poor to zero Latin preparation of seminarians and priests, I have to make a few observations. Fathers. If you belong … Read More
Wherein Fr. Z rants
More and more I’ve been musing, under the shadow of shifting demographics and the Church’s self-devastation wrought by those in the stratosphere of power, about the short and long term of the Novus Ordo and TLM. I’ve been wondering if, … Read More

My While For Awhile: Election Day Edition
I’m off to southern regions to visit my mother for a few days. Florida is hotly contested. I hope that my mere presence in the state will tip the election. My flight is delayed. Most Delta lounges these days … Read More
Wherein Fr. Z offended a reader and yet reaps a reward
I received at my PO Box (address right sidebar), a Pack of Remonstrance, a Parcel of Castigation, a Carton of Chastisement. Opening the cardboard container of shame, I found within … The writer took as an affront my comments on … Read More
Rome – Day 7: Mass for Benefactors and Cena di Congedo
It has been a pretty nasty day in the Eternal City. The weather was as dreadful today as it has been beautiful over the week. I did get out for some last needful errands and got drenched. As promised, … Read More
Rome – Day 6: Birthday and Mudbug
