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

Some donations also come through CHASE. That works well. I don't think they take any percentage as fees.I was at this conference last year. I’ll probably go this year! That’s how enjoyable it was. I’ve marked my calendar.
Yes, Fr. Z is taking ads…
Because it matters what children read…

A troubling, curious point in the Third Secret of Fátima
Something was made known to me a while back that I have been pondering. It involves the Third Secret of Our Lady of Fatima. It really bothers me. A refresher: The three children who were the seers at Fatima, received … Continue reading
“Let the Jesuits come to me. With hands in the air and without algorithms.” Fr. Z says: Let the Jesuits GO TO CHINA.
When I was a little kid I used to look forward to morning cartoons. Even as an adult I always turned to find The Far Side before the box scores. Now we must content ourselves with jokers like this. In … Continue reading
The “Great Progressive Propaganda Machine”, Totalitarian Agendas, Incrementalism, and YOU – Wherein Fr. Z rants
I don’t want to know anything about film and stage actors personal lives or, usually, vapid thoughts. Laura Ingraham had a good phrase for the screeching pop tarts: “shut up and sing”. If I go to a movie, I just … Continue reading
Vatican allows blaspheming Netflix to advertise on building
Does this seem right to you? Advertising on a Vatican-owned building. #Netflix #TheTwoPopes pic.twitter.com/mnFReMDpqE — Cindy Wooden (@Cindy_Wooden) December 16, 2019 What is the problem? Netflix has a show which is horrifically blasphemous, timed for Christmas – the bastards – … Continue reading
Note the twisted moral logic of those in power today
Here is a classic example of what is going on in the Church on the highest level. Follow the argument. My emphases. From Crux: ROME – A leading Vatican official says he would “hold the hand” of someone who was … Continue reading
#AmazonSynod -1st attack on the Priesthood: The Cassock
Throughout history, anti-Catholicism and anti-clericalism has specifically targeted the cassock for a great share of its fear and hatred. In some places the cassock could get you killed. Today as the Amazon Synod opens – during which we fully expect … Continue reading
ASK FATHER: Did Francis say something heretical about God and our sins?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: You always [write] about going to confession and that’s great! But I read in a Catholic Herald article that in a speech about confession Pope Francis said that God ‘forgets’ our sins. How can that be? Is … Continue reading
Mind-blowing profundity at the reconstituted John Paul II Institute 2.0
Sometimes I like to post lighter fare on a Friday. But today, I am so moved, so overwhelmed and thunderstruck with awe, that I must share this quote. Honestly, folks, I’m gobsmacked. I’m all at sixes and sevens. We once … Continue reading
“The Church of priests is coming to an end.” What’s really going on.
At Settimo Cielo long time vaticanista Sandro Magister posted something that should make everyone stop, breathe for a while, and consider options. Context: In October there will be a meeting of the Synod of Bishops on the Amazon, during which the … Continue reading
“LaCI and Beans” back at it again! Attack US Bishops for their enthusiastic implementation of law
Go to radical-liberal, anti-tradition La Croix International, (LaCI) run by a cadre around openly-“gay” (and HERE) Robert Mickens. Mickens, you will recall, is so filled with animus for John Paul II and Benedict XVI that he lost his place with the … Continue reading
The Catholic Church to Jesuits of Amerika: “No one can be at the same time a good Catholic and a true socialist.”
THIS – at Америка – speaks for itself. Dean Dettloff. Who? HERE I note in particular another of his offerings: “Christian Socialism: The Fusion of Faith and Revolution”. Here’s a quote from his piece: Communist political movements the world over … Continue reading
@JamesMartinSJ – “It is stupefying that women can’t preach”, says the Jesuit. Oh, yeah? Here’s what’s truly stupefying.
Get a load of this… It is stupefying to me that women cannot preach at Mass. The faithful during Mass, as well as the presiders, are missing out on the wisdom, experience and inspired reflections of half of its members. … Continue reading
PODCAzT 173: A darkly humorous look at the Amazon Synod’s Instrumentum Laboris
Today we hear an outstanding offering of William Kilpatrick who writes at Crisis. He has had a look at the Instrumentum Laboris for the upcoming Synod of Bishops in Rome in October about the Amazon. He has nailed it. A … Continue reading
Francis: Church Must Learn to Abandon Old ‘Traditions’
Today is the Feast of St. Vincent of Lérins. He bequeathed to the generations a few principles of identifying sound doctrine. I wrote something at length about that HERE. It might be a good idea to read that in tandem … Continue reading
Francis and the Deaconess Study Commission
At Crux Charles Collins (quondam Vatican Radio speaker) has some cleared-eye comments on recent remarks made on an airplane trip by Francis about the possibility of the ordination of women to the diaconate. In his view, and I agree, Francis … Continue reading
