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

What happened at St. Patrick’s and what now won’t happen in Austin
It has been quite a week. During this last week I’ve felt a real malaise, a spiritual smog. Many have written asking for my comments on highly visible disasters. Firstly, my insights lead me to the brilliant conclusion that, “Yup, … Read More
Sad news continues.
Sad news continues. Remember… it is an attack on Tradition and on the Traditional Roman Rite, but even more it is an attack on the people who want them. They don’t like the people. Bad news. France On the eviction of the … Read More
And then there’s this… whatever the fresh hell this is.
Remember… there’s only one expression of the Roman Rite now. RIGHT?!? And then there’s this.. whatever the fresh hell this is. I’m afraid to look at their archive. From their Youtube site: Welcome to Church of the Nativity! We aim … Read More
The present needs the past
Right now some clamor for everything in the Church, all her doctrine, liturgy (which is doctrine), law, structures… everything… to be “reinterpreted” in light of the “spirit” of Vatican II and the “spirit” of ongoing “synodality” (“walking togetherity”). From the … 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
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
Apart from the process itself during “Walking Together about Walking Togetherity” is something in particular being pushed?
The point of the “Walking Together about Walking Togetherity” is the process itself. The process is the content, the message. That does not mean that there are not sidelines, some of them dominant. One of them is the normalization of … Read More
