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

In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?

There is hardly anything crueler that a priest can do than to leave people in doubt about the validity of their sacraments.
It is extremely VEXING to learn of priests who are so thick… so arrogant… that they can’t or won’t be exacting about the VALIDITY of sacraments. It isn’t hard. You “Say The Black and Do The Red” and you use valid matter. … Read More
