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

“Si vis pacem para bellum!” Traditional Catholic Activism? Possible? Necessary? Unavoidable? A mind exercise.
I am mindful of what I posted here: 3.5% of a group can bring the group down, turn it around, or take it over. A friend, who sees and sends the most interesting things, saw and sent this, from The European … Read More

Invoking “Grandmother of the West”….? What is THAT all about?
SERIOUS PREAMBLE No demon has a real name. That’s part of their punishment. They really want a name and identity. Invocation of a false god or spirit allows demons to step up and be recognized, take the name and get … Read More
Francis: Grandmother of the West, invoked, to open the great circle and then blasts at “traditionalists”.

Blunt message from Naomi Wolf
Naomi Wolf. Jewish, liberal, feminist, homosexualist. Not a name that you would think to see on this blog. However, a reader sent me an email with about an video interview she gave about what is going on in the world … Read More
Look at even more of “Desiderio desideravi”
Continuing our look at Desiderio desideravi (aka Desideedee). The letter, as I wrote before, is a mixed bag. It seems divisible according to the voice and topic. That probably reflects authorship by different people or groups. Continued from HERE. The … Read More

Francis’ NEW “Desiderio desideravi” an Apostolic Letter “on the liturgical formation of the people of God” – an attempt to explain Traditionis custodes, to calm the storm
BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE… I urge those of you who are on the “trad” side of things (whether “mad, sad or glad”) not to run around with your hair on fire over this Letter which will – unsurprisingly – contain some … Read More
