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

Have you ever worked on a jigsaw puzzle where you didn’t have the finished photo? Slowly enough pieces fit together and you see what is the intended result. This is in today’s La Verità, which broke The Viganò Testimony. … Read More
Quis custodiat custodes? About a Jesuit in Francis’ inner circle @AntonioSpadaro and his special interest
The Roman writer Juvenal penned in his Satires a line which has become an apophthegm about oversight. Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who is keeping an eye on the guards? This could be a byword today in The Present Crisis. Who … Read More

26 August 2018 Sermon of Fr. John Lankeit in Phoenix – BOOM! – mic dropped.
He makes a useful distinction about “clericalism”. Fr. Z kudos. Fr. Lankeit also touches on on something that I wrote about yesterday, about priests who force the Mass to their own will, rather than conforming themselves to Mass. He speaks … Read More
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
