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

New procedures to remove negligent Bishops… what could go wrong?
The Pope has issued an Apostolic Letter (heavy) Motu Proprio to establish procedures to remove bishops who don’t act adequately in regard to priests who hurt children or vulnerable people. Good. On the face of it, that’s great. I’ve been irritated … Continue reading
Happy news from Bradford
Within me two people are constantly vying for control. First, there is the pessimist. He says, “Things can’t possible get any worse!”. Then, there is the optimist. He responds, “Oh, yes they can!” Seriously, we do have good news. From … Continue reading
