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

“So God Made A Liberal”
This amused me today, on a day when I needed something amusing. First, you have to hear the serious one, the original, to appreciate the second, less but more serious one. And then And now you know the rest of … Read More
If you can’t grasp this…
I saw this at my friend The Motley Monk‘s place. Go read the first comment over there. It is PERFECT.
A “c”atholic group to be wary of
Here is something you should be aware of. This is from Accuracy in Media. Obama Operative Masquerades as Catholic Expert Christopher Hale, of a group called Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, has emerged on CNN and Fox News … Read More

Cracks in the liberal adulation of Pope Francis
I have been saying that the Left will turn on Pope Francis. You can already see cracks in liberal unity appearing. The catholic Left is splitting. Just start reading carefully at Fishwrap. I was sent this cartoon by Matt Bors. I … Read More

Pope Francis: Women must not be clericalized!
In La Stampa we find a report on yet another interview Pope Francis has given, apparently to La Stampa. I haven’t found the whole thing yet. [UPDATE: Italian Original HERE.] But in the summary we read: Commenting on Curia reform, the … Read More
VIDEO: Wymyn burn Francis in effigy in Argentina. Make popcorn.
I was sent a video by a reader of some loony wymny in Argentina burning Pope Francis in effigy. I don’t know what this group is about, but I can guess. It probably defies the Church’s teaching on contraception or … Read More

US Federal Judge and atheist group tag-team attack churches, congregations
Sometimes I muse about what it must have been like for a pagan priest in 4th century Rome who tended a crossroads shrine as he watched the demolition of his entire world. It is, perhaps, our turn now. The not-so-Catholic-friendly, … Read More
Fighting the Obama Administration’s program of pain and dependence
I like this. A lot. From WND: Thousands of Americans have taken the government shutdown into their own hands, literally, as they stormed into the nation’s capital, tearing down barricades blocking off the World War II Memorial on the National … Read More

WHERE’S THE OUTRAGE? Francis and the ‘c’atholic Left.
Liberals, living in Nephelokokkygia, think that Pope Francis is “teachable“. When he confounds their expectations and does something Catholic, they say, “He’ll come around.” When he makes sharp negative remarks about radical feminists, they respond, “We’ll guide him him.” And then … Read More
Where is this “archconservative” Church? I’d like to visit it someday!
I saw at the Omaha World Herald a funny analysis of the “Francis Effect”. It’s funny, but not because it is humorous. The piece combines information from those bastions of objective reporting on Church matters, AP and the New York … Read More
