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 reactions to the Viganò (pronounced vig-ah-NOH) Testimony vary as you might expect, along “party lines”. The papalatrous liberal Left, including not a few sychophants of simply stunning audacity, deny everything Viganò wrote. Their main tack right now seems to be … Read More

National Sodomitical Reporter (aka Fishwrap): anything to distract from root cause of the clerical abuse scandal
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
“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
A sermon by an old friend about The Present Crisis
My old friend Fr. Robert Altier, back in my native place, gave a sermon last Sunday, 19 August, which is worth your while. Fr. Altier and I were in seminary together, though he was a couple years ahead of me.
