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

Pope Leo XIV’s 1st Christmas Address to the Roman Curia – I’m sensing a theme
Each year before Christmas, the Roman Pontiff has an audience with members of the Roman Curia. Back in the day, I used to accompany Card. Mayer. It was a wonderful experience with Pope John Paul II of happy memory. You … Read More

Jesuit-run Amerika Magazine on Leo XIV and what to do about people who desire traditional sacred worship (TLM)
Jesuit-run Amerika Magazine bravely comments about Leo XIV and the TLM … behind a paywall. (There are ways….) Mind you… anything or anyone jesuitical commenting on liturgy should right away be held as suspect. There are exceptions. Is this one? … Read More

I’ve been wanting to revive Zednet. Alas, I cannot do it alone. I don’t have possession of the components or the knowhow. Maybe, someday soon we can get it going again. Meanwhile, Pope Leo XIV went to the transmission center … Read More
SSPX: Habemus Papam! Pray or Speculate?
Pope Leo XIV has now been in office some 36… 37 days? He seems to be moving at a careful and deliberate pace. However, I am struck by perhaps coincidental facts which could be more than mere coincidences. For example, … Read More
Relief. Pope Leo XIV addressed the clergy of Rome… cordially.
For the last month and change, one of the most frequent observations I’ve heard from people is that its funny how we are so happy just to have something like normalcy. The most frequent word I’ve heard in Rome and … Read More
