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

Fishwrap attacks Francis AGAIN in the matter of women’s ordination
I have written before that the ordination of women is the flagship issue for liberals. So long as Pope Francis won’t change Church “policy”, he will remain in their dog house. Some conservatives frown when the Pope gets out over … Read More

Scalfari’s interview with Pope Francis removed from Vatican website. FINALLY!
Do you remember when I burst out in my own nutty melt-down about the fact that the interview by the atheist Eugenio Scalfari with Pope Francis, during which Scalfari neither made a recording or notes, was posted on the Vatican website … Read More

Fishwrap’s spittle-flecked nutty about the new Archbishop of Hartford
Over at Fishwrap (aka the National Schismatic Reporter), venomous writer Michael Sean Winters threw a spittle-flecked nutty about the appointment of Most Rev. Leonard Blair as the new Archbishop of Hartford. I won’t go into the details of MSW’s spittle-flecks. I’ll … Read More

Over at Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter), the editor is already starting to wring his hands. The editorial is a bit mawkish, but you can forgive that. Here is a sample: Francis is the exclamation point on Vatican II Thomas … Read More

Symptoms of The Francis Effect™
We didn’t think this was going to happen? Six months into this pontificate, and people are starting to go a little crazy. For example, the Archbishop of Birmingham is talking about intercommunion with Anglicans, based on a document which dates … Read More
WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE? Francis and the ‘c’atholic Left.
Liberals, living in Nephelokokkygia, think that Pope Francis is “teachable“. When he confounds their expectations and does something Catholic, they say, “He’ll come around.” When he makes sharp negative remarks about radical feminists, they respond, “We’ll guide him him.” And then … Read More

Another feminist attacks Pope Francis.
The feminists who can read, and there aren’t that many, have figured out Pope Francis and they don’t like him. They are already subtly trashing him. However, they know they are going against a populist icon. They don’t have a … Read More

Then they opened their mouths and removed all doubt.
There were some attacks on me over the last couple days because I (in a moment of stupidity) responded to a anti-Catholic bigot who had launched a mendacious attack on the Church. In a moment of weakness, I cared. Oh … Read More
