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

29 June 1972. Paul VI says, “the smoke of Satan has entered the Church of God”
Fifty years ago today, 29 June 1972, Paul VI uttered those amazing words. He knew that something was not going right. Not at all right. Thus Paul VI: “… We would say that, through some mysterious crack—no, it’s not mysterious; … Read More

A look at Peter’s Pence
I just saw the Vatican’s Annual Disclosure about Peter’s Pence or Obolo di San Pietro for 2021. The collection is taken up around the world around the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul. It is intended to provide means for … Read More
Worship Prefect interviewed.
At Vatican News we find an interview with the Prefect of Worship, whom Francis designated as a Cardinal, Archbp. Arthur Roche, once of Leeds and less-than-successful head of ICEL. Roche is an inveterate enemy of the Roman Rite, the Vetus … Read More

New Decree from Rome cuts the legs from under bishops and strangles new religious groups in the crib.
Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn’t it once a project of Francis to decentralize some of the power from the Roman Curia out to the local Churches? I have this nagging memory that local bishops were to have … Read More

The gnostic ways of Francisism on full display
Fishwrap (aka the National Sodomitic Reporter) has been too creepily disgusting lately even to peruse lately, what with the list of for the upcoming consistory. However, a friend did some toxic-waste diving and came up with an observation about one … Read More
New members of the College of Cardinals
I’ve been asked quite a few times today what I thought about the new “red hat” list for the College of Cardinals. I simply laughed. The ploy and play of the list is so obvious that it is hardly to … Read More
Mobile phones in church to record illegal disturbances of Sunday Masses by invading pro-abortion terrorists?
The other day I posted HERE about possible invasions/protests at churches on Sunday. I now think it probable that some churches are going to be targeted for disturbances. I read that Catholic venues are being defaced with spray painted hate … Read More
Brace for vicious cruelty in Washington, DC.
UPDATE: I received this and, in fairness, it ought to be shared: Dear Fr. Zuhlsdorf, Your posting about our parish slightly mischaracterizes what was said at mass today about Cardinal Gregory’s thoughts about the Extraordinary Form Mass at our parish. … Read More
One bishop, two dioceses.
At Catholic Culture Phil Lawler has views about the recent appointment of one bishop to oversee two distinct dioceses. Yesterday’s news included the curious report that in two different cases—one in Ireland, one in Wales—Pope Francis had appointed one bishop to … Read More
