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

The wussificiation of the priesthood and the Novus Ordo

Ignorance of Christian doctrine is main cause of the decline of Faith

DISGUSTING
Direct from the triumph of his anti-religious comments in Ireland, Pres. Obama thrills again. At American Spectator I picked up this encouraging gem. Obama never fails to enlist children in his secularist crusades, whether at home or abroad. Last week … Read More
