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

You all know about the “Gay-la” at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. Each year, the Met has some big “fashion” exhibit. This year, some folks in the Church were either duped or were consciously complicit in producing a … Read More →

Reading #GaudeteEtExsultate – Pope Francis blasts “punctilious concern for the Church’s liturgy”
I’ve been working my way through the very long Apostolic Exhortation Gaudete et exsultate. It’s a whopping 20K words. A point that people have been asking me about, and which libs will surely throw in the teeth of anyone who wants a … Read More →
Good summary and analysis of @DouthatNYT v. @MassimoFaggioli
Last week I attended an event at Jesuit-run Fordham University (hereafter F.U.), billed as a debate between Ross Douthat of the NYT (aka Hell’s Bible) and uber-lib Massimo “Beans” Faggioli of Augustinian-run Villanova (a committed “New catholic Red Guard”), about … Read More →
Two seriously ugly signs of the times involving papal honors and the silencing of bells

More bad art… but this time well-deserved!
Yesterday I posted about bad art, which is also in some cases blasphemous. HERE Today I post again about bad art. I don’t really care that much this time, since it concerns the official presidential portrait of the 44th POTUS, … Read More →
Oath of fidelity made by all Bishops, some considerations, and YOU
As a follow up to the nearby post about Latin, and to what Fr. Hunwicke wrote about the oath that bishops have to take – in Latin – when they receive a mandate from the Holy See, here is that … Read More →
A new “manifesto” in Rome urging prayers for the Pope
Do you remember that, no too long ago, some wags in Rome clandestinely slapped up some posters “manifesti” on the walls of Rome addressing themselves – in the Roman way – to Pope Francis? The posters were hurriedly removed. … Read More →
