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

It seems Francis isn’t a big fan of homosexualist Jesuit James Martin

The church of England apologizes for its temporary lapse into Christianity – UPDATED

The “Great Progressive Propaganda Machine”, Totalitarian Agendas, Incrementalism, and YOU – Wherein Fr. Z rants
I don’t want to know anything about film and stage actors personal lives or, usually, vapid thoughts. Laura Ingraham had a good phrase for the screeching pop tarts: “shut up and sing”. If I go to a movie, I just … Continue reading

More on “foot washing”.

VIDEO: Men and Women are Different After All: Part 1 of a series on The Gender Ideology
The Gender Theory stuff being shoved down our throats is nothing less than a toxic, totalitarian ideology. Libs and totalitarians always demand that we deny commonsense and evidence from our senses and reason. It’s irrational and patently from Hell. My … Continue reading
