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

What has the Left been up to? A few examples.

Surprise article at Commonweal about participation in the Traditional Latin Mass

Who are the real Neo-Gnostics?
It often happens, at least to me, that when Pope Francis starts swinging pejorative labels around like so many clubs, it’s hard to know just whom he means to lather. That said, when Pope Francis uttered the epithet about Self-Absorbed Promethean Neo-Pelagians, … Read More

How the Left wins.
One thing’s for sure: conservatives and traditionalists are lousy at organizing and fighting back in the public square. In fact, too many times they turn on each other, which makes the Enemy cheer us on. The Left is good at … Read More
