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

SSPX Bp. Fellay about the #FilialCorrection
SSPX Superior Bp. Bernard Fellay signed the Correctio Filialis. Libs pounced. “OMG!”, they sneered, “The correction is so baaaad because an SSPX guy signed it!”, which you will immediately recognize as a really powerful argument. Bp. Fellay explains why he signed. … Read More

Large group offers “filial correction” to Pope Francis for “seven heresies”.
UPDATE: 23 Sept: It is important to take all thoughts about this to prayer and perhaps with fasting. ____ Be careful about what you ask for. Pope Francis asked for “lío”. He got some more public “lío”. I had alluded … Read More
ASK FATHER: Proposals to priests to “enrich” the Novus Ordo from Tradition
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I’ve recently come across an article on NLM titled “A Primer for aTradition-Minded Celebration of the OF Mass.” As you can assume, this article has suggestions for celebrating the OF Mass traditionally. My question is this: which of … Read More
