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

Priests, Sacrament of Penance again under attack by the State
You have probably heard about law in Washington that priests will be required to divulge to law enforcement anything about child abuse which they learned when hearing confessions (in the internal forum). Fox now reports HERE that priests who obey … Read More
“Ministerial Miranda”? Another attack on the Seal of Confession on priests… and on YOU.
