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

Wherein Fr. Z asks readers to offer the Fishwrap some constructive help
First, here is a link to something that I posted some time ago: HERE Once again the National Schismatic Reporter (aka Fishwrap) is stumping in favor of the ordination of women to the priesthood. This is what the Fishwrap does: they dissent from the Church’s … Continue reading
“What’s the difference between a dissenting Catholic and a Protestant?”
On the heels of my post earlier today about bad Catholics, on the one hand, and the oblivious who drift (or dash) into some amorphous new “religion”, on the other, I note that Fr. Robert Sirico of Acton Institute has … Continue reading
Dissent into Hell – Fr. Z rants

Harvesting Conciliar “fruits”: half of adults polled think Harry Potter and Hunger Games could be Biblical

This is where liberal dissent leads: liberals give the Eucharist to a dog.
From theage.com.au. Note in the second paragraph of the story that, at this blasphemous and sacrilegious “Mass”, the dissidents gave the Eucharist to a dog. Let’s not be speciesist, after all. This is where dissent leads. Note that this priest … Continue reading

“Copernican Revolution”? Not!
Our friends at Rorate have published part of something from Messa in latino, speculation about the “Doctrinal Preamble” offered by the CDF to the SSPX during their meeting of 14 September, last. I wrote about that here. The speculation rises … Continue reading
Sr. Fiedler’s summation of the American Catholic Council. Fr. Z agrees.

Did liturgical optionitis and degraded liturgy lead to dissent about morality?
I was alerted to a column by Louis Verrecchio over at the excellent CNA. It weighs in at about 1700 words. I will edit and add some emphases and comments and then shoo you over there to read the rest. … Continue reading
Anxious NCR editorial – They KNOW they are losing and they are terrified!
The ultra-left-wing National Catholic Reporter has an editorial in which they reveal their darkest fear: …the goalposts have shifted in the U.S. episcopacy in the past decade – and they have swerved in a decidedly rightward tilt on both the … Continue reading
