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

ASK FATHER: How much prayer is enough?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I have seen several Examination of Conscience guides mention neglecting prayer as a sin. Could you unpack this a bit? Failing to pray at all for a week, for example, seems like it would be a … Read More

A video that gets to the HEART of things.
I call your attention… no. Wait. To those who don’t like the Traditional Latin Mass… to those who don’t like me personally or what I write or defend… to those who don’t understand why there are Catholics who aren’t just … Read More
ASK FATHER: Bowing to the priest when he enters for Mass
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I saw a tweet or whatever it is that they are called now starting an argument about whether or not people in the pews should bow to the priest when he enters to say the Traditional … Read More
When they say it is NOT about redistribution of power, it’s about redistribution of power.
LifeSite today looked at what the participants of “Walking Together about Walking Togetherity” are discussing and it fits with what I have written before. The true content of the “W-T” is the process itself. The aim is to make “W-T” a … Read More

Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy follows up on his essay four years ago: “Pope Francis and Schism”
I’m still disappointed and annoyed at Fr. Thomas G. Weinandy, OFM, Cap., for the inexplicable and, frankly, ignorant attack on the Traditional Latin Mass some time back, together with two other writers who ought to know better. Many of us … Read More
WDTPRS – 16th Sunday after Pentecost: We need grace so as not to fail in the vocations God entrusts to us
This Sunday’s dense Collect survived the scissors and paste-pots of the Consilium during the 1960’s and lived on in the post-Conciliar Missale Romanum as the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time. This prayer, used for centuries, is in the Sacramentarium Hadrianum, … Read More
