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

ASK FATHER: How do you say “gay lobby” in Latin?
Under another post I wrote, channeling my inner Cato, that the “gay lobby” must be destroyed. The Viganò Testimony is part of its demolition. They will fight back, as Madame Wile E. Lafarge is already doing. Right now there is … Read More
The Viganò Testimony: TRUTH

The Pope responds about the Viganò Testimony. What he said and what he, maybe, really said.
On the airplane returning to Rome from Ireland, the Pope responded with a non-response to a question from the press about the Testimony issued by Archbp. Carlo Maria Viganò. What he said… watch the body language with the words. “Read … Read More

Meanwhile, they have all the answers over at the National Sodomitical Reporter (aka Fishwrap). Here’s a good one. Laicized Roy Bourgois – remember him? – thinks that ordaining women will fix things up. That’s gonna happen. A couple weeks back they … Read More

I know some of you out there read Italian. Even clerics who went to the NAC can probably read a little! o{];¬) At Marco Tossati’s site there is a longish but deeply informative article: OMOERESIA E OMOPRAXIA. PERCHÈ IL PAPA NON … Read More

“Somehow, almost overnight, our culture decided that a “LGBT” identity is something that one is born with.”
He shouldn’t have been there in the first place. However, I suppose that the dicastery headed by non-Card. McCarrick’s former apprentice in Washington, Card. Farrell, deemed it opportune to have Martin there. At Crisis David Prosen reacts both to homosexualist … Read More
Infiltration of the priesthood. How did it happen? How bad is it?
A priest friend of mine sent a link to a piece at his site: Padre Peregrino. I think he over estimates the number of priests who are homosexual. However, I will agree that the percentage is probably higher among bishops … Read More
