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

A “tour de force” about Protestants and Martin Luther
One priest in an email to me referred to this as a “tour de force” about Protestants and Martin Luther. All I can say is… “Whew!” Go to Crisis and read “Calling a Spade a Spade” by Angelo Stagnaro. Sample: I … Continue reading
Beautiful new painting: “St Pius V and St. Charles Borromeo defending Catholicism against Islam and the Protestant Heresy.”
Even as I repeat my plea to everyone on our side of the continuum to work together – amicably and patiently – at Rorate I found a wonderful image of a beautifully painted modern canvass. They picked it up – felicitously – … Continue reading

Poste Vaticane – Commemorative stamping to honor Martin Luther
Yesterday I heard that the Vatican Post was to issue a commemorative stamp honoring Martin Luther. HERE To honor someone who so publicly ripped asunder the fabric of Christendom is appalling. Who’s next? Judas Iscariot? This is like: Augustus Caesar minting … Continue reading
A Blessed who saw angels, Martin Luther, and YOU!

Rutler on Luther and Islam
As a former Lutheran, I won’t look forward to Catholic-Lutheran hoopla in 2017. I, for one, won’t celebrate theological revolt and the shredding of the fabric of Christendom. A must read is to be found at Crisis from the keyboard of Fr. George … Continue reading

Learn from Luther… and kneel to receive Holy Communion!
