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

An article at First Things about how Vatican II built up bishops to the detriment of priests
I think this article frames the issue quite well. Vatican II’s document on bishops converted bishops into a sort of “super priests” whereas the document(s) on priests … didn’t do much at all. The article is at First Things. Some … Read More
A clarification about my statements concerning SSPX bishops
