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

Two items concerning Jesuits, one grim and real, the other a tribute
Two items, quickly. First, at CNA there is a must read article about the thoughts of a Jesuit priest in Uruguay about the state of the Society of Jesus. Realistic about their profound decline and grim future. HERE Next, there … Read More
“Restorers”! “Against the Council”! “MAKE IT take root”! What are they really saying?

Jesuits PROMOTE “Pachamama Day”. I am not making this up. Vatican “Earth Mother” coin.
Pachamama… this is a demon cult from S. America. Pachamama was venerated in an obvious pagan rite in the Vatican Gardens at the opening of the 2019 Synod of Bishops. At the close of the Synod a ritual Pachamama cult … Read More
