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

ASK FATHER: Priest says “for all” in consecration. Invalid?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I just read an article from the Remnant which argued that the use of “for all” instead of “for many” did not invalidate the Mass. This article was written immediately after the release of the new translation of … Continue reading
ASK FATHER: Was it right to leave a “Mass” with a string of serious abuses?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: Thank you for your Priesthood! I have a question about the validity of a Mass. My mother was in town for Mother’s Day and we went to Mass on Sunday (Novus Ordo). I am far from … Continue reading
Writing to Rome when the bishop or pastor does nothing to correct liturgical abuses
Letter by letter. At the blog Socon or Bust I saw a post about a woman who had been writing to her local bishop for some years about liturgical abuses at her parish. The bishop, predictably, did nothing. She wrote … Continue reading
From the Archive: Priest refuses to use new translation in consecration of Precious Blood. Invalid?
FROM THE ARCHIVE. (Since a couple people have recently asked about this through email.) From a reader: If I had to guess, there are probably many priests throughout the US who are refusing to celebrate the Mass according to the … Continue reading

QUAERITUR: What to do about liturgical abuses?
I am under siege in email from frustrated people pouring our their tales of liturgical abuses, perpetrated or scheduled, for Holy Thursday. They ask “what am I supposed to do”? Most of the time, there is nothing we can do … Continue reading

QUAERITUR: Priest scandalizes religious ed students by disobedience.
Another form of clerical abuse. From a reader: I’m a DRE with an important question. Today at Mass, a visiting priest in the diocese indicated the following during his homily: 1. He is very much opposed to the new, more accurate … Continue reading
QUAERITUR: Before Mass ended the congregation blessed the priest
From a reader: On Priesthood Sunday just before Mass ended, the resident nun took to the ambo and asked the congregation to extend their hands to bless the priest. She then led a fairly lengthy blessing. My wife and I were uncomfortable with … Continue reading
Bp. Coyne on what to do when priests don’t “Say the Black and Do the Red”.
A “Say the Black, Do the Red” sighting. A few days ago I posted about an entry on the blog of H.E. Most Rev. Chris Coyne, auxiliary in Indianapolis. I guess that that entry helped bring a lot of traffic … Continue reading
Concerning the “liturgical vigilante”
Be sure to check out Pat Archbold’s perspicacious and amusing piece over at the National Catholic Register entitled, “Liturgical Vigilantes“. A few of good bits: As general rule, vigilantes are not born, they are made. Their steely resolve to right … Continue reading
