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

ASK FATHER: Is the dome of St. Peter’s in Rome turning black?
UPDATE: I received a note from a friend in DC. St Peter’s dome reminds me of what’s happening in DC. There is a form of black mold we are spending millions mitigating on a regular basis. I received a question … Read More

Finding the TLM in S. Peter’s now that Masses have been suppressed.
This is the first day for the heartless, lawless San Pietro Suppression (SPS) of Holy Mass by individual priests at the many altars of the Basilica. The Traditional Latin Mass is restricted to a single altar in the Clementine Chapel … Read More
Another thing about the lawless, heartless St. Peter’s Mass Suppression Stunt
Another point about the lawless, heartless edict from High Atop The Thing against priests who want to offer Holy Mass at side altars of San Pietro… as they have been able to do for decades. The defenders of the sterile, … Read More
On the St. Peter’s Mass Suppression Stunt viewed from the Left
People are still talking about the decision to suppress priests’ individual Masses in St. Peter’s Basilica to force everyone into uniformity. I wrote HERE and HERE. Card. Burke HERE At Fishwrap, Christopher White – big surprise here – mischaracterized my … Read More
St. Peter’s Basilica – Individual morning Masses SUPPRESSED
UPDATE: A couple curious things. There is no full signature. There is no protocol number. And, as an email correspondent pointed out, Vatican II’s Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium, 57, §2 reads, “Nevertheless, each priest shall always retain … Read More
Another sign of the times
Granted, this hasn’t happened yet, but it is a sign of the times. Think about the implications of even thinking about doing this? Hint: “cancel culture”. What at stake in the choice of a new Archpriest of St. Peter’s Basilica? … Read More
Chilling video of abandoned St. Peter’s Square on New Year’s Eve Day
This video from my friend Bree says a lot. As I look at that… I wonder where the DAMNED BOWL is. WHERE’S THE BOWL?
