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 short answer is “yes”. We know that when you change liturgical texts, you change the belief of the people. It takes a while, but it happens. You know the adage “lex orandi lex credendi“. So, Edward Pentin has a … Read More
