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

Fishwrap – swamp of pseudo-Catholic wokeness: CANCEL JOHN PAUL II!
Here is a spectacular example of “fundamental osculation” from the Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter). Keep in mind an old principle: Everything before “but” is B as in B, S as in S. Editorial: US bishops, please suppress the cult … Read More

What’s up at pro-abortion Fishwrap these days?
“What’s up at Fishwrap?”, you ask. Try this. Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) is openly pro-abortion now… probably because the staff is solidly Dem or Marxist. We’ve known that for awhile, but they aren’t hiding it, either. There is a … Read More

Fishwrap’s case of the vapors over a annual, rural gun show hosted in an unused Catholic school
I very much enjoyed reading a piece at the Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) about some local news, here in the Diocese of Madison. A Catholic parish in the small Wisconsin town of Muscoda has for years allowed an annual… … Read More
FISHWRAP: Piteous tirade about the people who attend the Traditional Latin Mass

Michael Sean Winters (aka the Wile E. Coyote of the catholic Left, aka Madame Defarge the Tricoteuse) is worried. He has called to the US Bishops to stop the schism! In his latest panic attack at Fishwrap, Winters identifies several groups … Read More
Jesuit Thomas Reese against Transubstantiation. Wherein Fr. Z responds.

Fishwrap’s latest spittle-flecked nutty about Card. Burke
The Biological Solution keeps rolling up stats and the Demographic Deluge soon to hit the Church will empty pews in the burbs. What will be left? Hard to say. However, I think it will involve the steadily growing traditional communities, … Read More
William F. Buckley and Fulton Sheen on Firing Line! 1970

More dangerous garbage from the National Schismatic Reporter
