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

HEADS WILL ROLL! A new “You won’t believe your eyes ugly” altar
You know about the flesh-eating amoeba that attacks brains? Part of the problem in the Church today is the worldly, spirit-eating amoeba that is eating the souls of bishops. This is from La Repubblica. Here is a new altar in … Read More
Solipsistic, self-aggrandizing @FatherRosica dares to vet Catholic news sources
After the 2018 Synod (“walking together”) proposed that some authority should vet Catholic websites for their acceptability, THIS pops up. Care to explain this, Fr Rosica? And, no, we won’t let you get away with claiming it’s not news because it … Read More

Another really bad idea: Communion Pills
Even though there is no danger of true true sacrilege (these Protestants have no valid Eucharist or anything like), there is danger of idolatry… and of being kinda dumb. Perhaps it’s a matter of lack of oxygen at higher altitudes? … Read More
The unhinged Left now turns to satanism, witchcraft to fight Pres. Trump, Justice Kavanaugh
Under another post I mentioned something about libs, Dems, turning to witchcraft to fight Pres. Trump. Several of you have sent notes about a plan for “witches” to gather in Brooklyn and… and… sorry, I just had an image of … Read More
A story of spectacular complexity, involving shady people, huge money, interlocking directorates, vast loans, and the Papal Foundation.
Read this. Zenit reports. Pope Francis on September 20, 2018, received in the Apostolic Palace Consistory Hall of the Vatican, the participants at the Conference of the Sons of Holy Mary Immaculate on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of … Read More
One Mad Mom spanks James Martin, LGBTSJ – UPDATED
UPDATE: I had a call from a friend who underscored her real shock at Martin’s ghastly suggestion in his tweets. The more I think about it, the more loathsome the true content of Martin’s tweets appears. He told people that … Read More
More Jesuit idiocy – BUT WAIT! There’s more!
This is something that was perpetrated in a JESUIT church in NYC, the once and still mostly beautiful St. Francis Xavier, which is part of a large and once important High School. Watch and bite your lip till bloody. This … Read More
Wile. E. Defarge goes to the zoo.
Something is screwy in the head of Madame Wile E. Defarge. To wit, in his recent twirl into sycophantic papalotry, he compares those who are calling for Francis to make things clear and help us properly to deal with the … Read More
“Gay” Parade in Rome with @JamesMartinSJ and a bishop close to the papal inner circle
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
Italian press in full, spittle-flecked nutty. Malicious idiocy from Beans and Wormtongue.
For those of you who read Italian here are a couple of pages of typical reportage. The images are large if you open them in another tab or window. First, Wormtongue writes for La Stampa. Notice that breathy Beans bubbles … Read More
