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

GOOD NEWS: “Key” available for Scanlon’s “Latin Grammar: Grammar Vocabularies, and Exercises in Preparation for the Reading of the Missal and Breviary”
There is some GOOD NEWS. It’s down below. Meantime… I’ve been ranting for years about the need for clerics to know the language of their Latin Church, Roman Rite. In most cases that means that priests and seminarians have to … Read More

What might a … different White House look like?
There are still traces of sanity at Fox. This is a show I neglected to cancel from my DVR schedule. What would a Harris Biden White House look like? One shudders. Watch this, before it is removed.
Go ahead and tell me that it can’t happen again! Go ahead!
Our lives can change in the wink of an eye. Read Matthew 24, why donchya. “From the fig tree learn its lesson: as soon as its branch becomes tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.” … Read More

Wherein Tucker cites Viganò about the Wuhan Devil
Tucker Carlson last night mentioned Archbp. Viganò. Perhaps he can be excused for mispronouncing his name. His point is good. A friend let me know about this. I stopped watching Fox after “Election” night.
