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

Fr Longenecker: “Be Subversive — Get Married!” and Fr Z rants a little.
Fr. Longenecker has a good piece at Stream. It’s as subversive as his advice to young people. In the setup for his argument for young couples (male and female) to marry in church, have kids, stick close to the Church … Read More
@JamesMartinSJ vicious internet lynching of @dlongenecker1
Jesuit homosexualist activist James Martin has an penchant for fighting dirty. Any scrap of credibility he might have had for his obsessive cause is greatly diminished with this tactic. Watch what he does. From his Twitter feed (LINK – my … Read More
Fr. Longenecker: “ALL ARE WELCOME…TO WHAT EXACTLY?”
Pop over the Fr. Longenecker’s place and read his post: “All Are Welcome” He rips the skin from the faux calls for diversity and multiculturalism and, especially, “gay” hollering we are force to hear so much. Sample: I’m reminded of … Read More
“What young Catholics want. What old Catholics want young Catholics to want.”
A couple of related stories. Consider this against the background of some clever tweets that are going around. Some wags post side by side images of something traditional and something liberal with the caption, “What young people want… What old … Read More

Red and Black in the Wild
Check out Fr. Longenecker’s site for some liberal liturgical hijinx. There is a Red and Black reference.
Doing what you can do.
Check out a piece over a Fr. Longenecker’s blog. Excerpt: […] It was on the way home that the phrase, “Silver and gold I have none” kept echoing through my brain and I realized that the Holy Spirit was speaking … Read More
The slipping-away of Catholic identity
I think that Pope Benedict had as a project for his pontificate the revitalization of Catholic identity. The West is losing its soul because Christianity – Catholicism in particular – is not being lived by the mature or passed on … Read More
