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

A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

Getting up to date in Kansas City
This morning I had Holy Mass at St. Philippine Duschesne which is run by the FSSP. I thought it was to be a Sung Mass, but it turned out to be Solemn, which was a treat. Here are a few … Read More

I’m on my way to the path of the much anticipated shadow of your planet’s largest satellite. There is a lovely sight in the sky this morning directly in the East. The Moon has lots of Earthshine and Venus … Read More
My View For Awhile: Homeward
I’ve had enough heat for the time being. Time to go. At the airport TSA gave my bag their special attention (as I looked on) with all manner of care for restoring some decent order… not. Thanks for that. … Read More

NLM: Useful study of creation of the Novus Ordo Lectionary
Have you followed the tennis match back and forth that has resulted since Card. Sarah’s suggestion in La Nef that the Extraordinary and the Ordinary Forms of Mass should have a coordinated Lectionary? Some were cool about that suggestion and … Read More
@MichaelSWinters nasty remark about converts. Wherein Fr. Z rants.
Today there is a “Defense of Converts” in First Things. There is a defense because there was an attack. A couple days back, at the Fishwrap (aka National Sodomitic Reporter), the Wile E. Coyote of the catholic Left, Michael Sean Winters, attacked … Read More
My View For A While: Parental Edition
Off I go for a brief southern sojourn. But first, the joy of airports at Zero Dark Thirty and cramped flights. Did I mention “cramped”? Delta’s definition of “comfort” differs from that which most of us understand. To experience “comfort” … Read More
