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

More Musings on #AmorisLaetitiae and a ‘Statement” from great #confccb priests
Now that the Post-Synodal Apostolic Exhortation (P-SAE) Amoris Laetitia is settling in, I have few more observations. First, “left” and “right” have reacted predictably. We are challenged by the P-SAE in different ways. The P-SAE doesn’t change Catholic doctrine, though some … Read More

First comment on the Pope’s new Apostolic Exhortation
The new Apostolic Exhortation is out: Evangelii gaudium. In English it is some 51000 words. It is a slog. It is not an encyclical. It is not an apostolic letter. It is only an apostolic exhortation. I caution all of you (and … Read More
