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

The Novus Ordo giving us another “unique expression” in Ireland
Another jackass priest, in Ireland, Fr. Roy Donovan, of Limerick, committed an act of sacrilege, during the consecration in a Mass. He is part of the Ass. of Catholic Priests in Ireland. Hence, he’s a crackpot. What did he do this … Read More
Another Novus Ordo “unique expression”, again in Italy

VIDEO: Another example of Francis “unique expression” of Novus Ordo (turn your volume down or you will frighten the dogs of the neighborhood)
The Vetus Ordo is against Vatican II! That’s why it has to be crushed and the people who want it marginalized and demoralized to the point that they will quite simply leave the Church. Instead, what will bring about the … Read More
Meanwhile, the Novus Ordo is the only expression of the Roman Rite… not.
