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

Category Archives: What are they REALLY saying?
Catholics must read the entire Tradition in light of the Council in order to remain within the Church.
At Lifesite I read of the goofy notions of a Polish cardinal who occupies the see once held by Karol Card. Wojtyla. You might recall that, not so long ago, there have been assertions that the entirety of the Church’s … Read More →

Asking for a friend….
Pope Leo went to France and said a lot of things. Among the things he said… And with you, Europe, firmly rooted in its heritage, will continue to flourish and to inspire the whole world. To the French Bishops he … Read More →
They are moving fast.
At LifeSite there is a piece about a conference on “pastoral ministry” for an particular alphabet group and some 10 Italian bishops attended. It was held, surprise surprise, at the General Curia of the Jesuits. Where else? Excerpt (my emphases … Read More →
A work in progress…
The increasingly valuable Infovaticana has a piece by Martin Grichting (Swiss canonist of the Diocese of Chur) argues that Vatican synodality is anachronistic because it draws laypeople into ecclesiastical structures rather than sending them into civil society. Vatican II envisioned … Read More →

This is spot on… awful but spot on.
The slogan on this image from the “walking together” office – CTU on the Tiber – says a great deal about the purpose of the perpetual process. I know it’s hard, but just look at that image for a few … Read More →
This reminds me of something.
This reminds me of something. What is it? I really miss Calvin and Hobbes, don’t you? What is it….? Ah… right. Synodality? Everything from Germany? The Vatican-China Deal? Soooo many possibilities.
Keep in mind the phrase: quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur.
If they think this is going to go away, they are delusional. Keep in mind the phrase: quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur. Also, yesterday in some commentary on the strange opinions of a bishop, I mentioned the issue of “unity”, … Read More →
Does it feel to you as if something is building to an explosive point?
One wonder’s how much the progressivists (aka libs) despise the people who desire traditional sacred worship. Prediction: “synod” will be turned into a verb. At LifeSite we find this. This is truly crazy stuff, from the Bishop of Pilsen in … Read More →
Detroit’s Archbishop attends mosque opening, says: “There is no place where I feel more respect, fraternity, and kindness”
From a priest… I’m sure that you have seen this already, but the archbishop of Detroit was recently at the opening of a mosque in Dearborn, MI. “There is no place where I feel more respect, fraternity, and kindness,” Archbishop … Read More →
