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

Is The Tablet declaring war?
Apparently England’s weekly The Tablet, which nearly succeeds in making the NCR look moderate, has in its crosshairs Fr. Tim Finigan. Damian Thompson of Holy Smoke has sounded the claxon. As you know, Fr. Finigan, His Hermeneuticalness, is just about … Read More
Rome in the slow lane
It is axiomatic that Rome doesn’t move quickly. PS: I shut down the Z-Cam for a couple days.
Hysteria
Fr. Longenecker, about whom I have always written with charity, has stepped over the line. Apparently living in a place where he admits maniples are …. and I can hardly bring myself to write… rare, he has nearly frothed that … Read More
Never-to-be-satisfied ADL still rebuking the Pope
I have mentioned elsewhere that certain groups will never let the whole SSPX/Williamson/excommunication thing die. EVER. From Haaretz. My emphases and comments. I think this was aimed at reinforcing anti-Catholic bias among a narrow slice of Jewish readership. ADL chief: … Read More
Jerusalem Post is satisfied with the Pope’s remarks
Apparently the Jerusalem Post is satisfied with the Pope’s statements: Die „Jerusalem Post” ist zufrieden mit den Worten von Papst Benedikt zum Judentum und zum Holocaust. In einem Artikel mit der Überschrift „Die Entschuldigung des Papstes“ wird begrüßt, dass der … Read More
