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

Synodality (“Walking Togetherity”) and “tesserae”
Looking at the Synod (“Walking Together: “W-T”) from as far as I can manage while being in Rome and as close as I need to be because I simply have to, the image that comes to mind is tied sack … 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
EXPLICIT: Impose “synodality” (“walking togetherity”) and the other stuff will follow
This is from Catholic Vote. Everyone, I’ve been saying all along that whatever “Walking Together about Walking Togetherity” might produce in terms of texts or recommendations for some papal document, none of that makes a difference. The real content is … Read More

Rumors of a forced-resignation attack on Bp. Joseph Strickland from ROME
In about mid-August I had heard that perhaps Bp. Strickland would be ousted by Rome in the first part of July. “I’ll believe it,” quoth I quietly but pretty much believing, “when I see it.” We heard about the visitation … Read More
QUAERITUR: Is there something wrong in Rome?
At The Catholic Thing today, my friend Dr. Robert Royal asks the elephantine – nay, rather, mastodontic question: Is there something wrong in Rome? The obvious answer is YES. Only a fool or fanatical ideologue (in the real sense) would … Read More
