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

Card. Müller: “we must resist” the hostile takeover of the Church
The other day I saw in a dreadful video something really alarming in regard to the Synodal (“walking together”) process. The implication was that the Holy Spirit will change the Church and the Church’s doctrines because the Holy Spirit will … Read More

Card. Müller on deaconettes: “No. Not possible.” – on liturgy: “crisis”

NEW BOOK: The Cardinal Müller Report: An Exclusive Interview on the State of the Church

BOMBSHELL: The Four Cardinals Letter to Pope Francis – “Seeking Clarity”
UPDATE: I’d be willing to bet that The Four are merely the tip of the spear. I’d wager that they represent a large gang of quiet Cardinals who want answers, but because they are presently in curial or diocesan positions … Read More

Card. Müller: Delegate doctrinal decisions to regional conferences? “absolutely anti-Catholic”!
Recently Card. Marx and the German Bishops conference flexed their muscles a bit and suggested that they should have oversight of doctrine (rather than Rome) and that they were pretty much not subordinated to Rome. I have now read an … Read More
