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

Wherein Fr. Z cynically reflects on Germany and divorce and remarriage

Consecration of a diocese to the Sacred Heart!

Bp. Zubik refuses to facilitate a “moral evil”

A 1st TLM experience: “I had the sense that that Host was REALLY consecrated.”
