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

Gathering the MSM’s headlines about #AmorisLaetitia
So… there is the Letter itself and there is the MSM (“main stream media” for those of you in Columbia Heights) spin, especially through headlines. Headlines are often composed not by the writers of the articles, but by backroom editors who often a) … Read More
The press takes sides before the Synod starts
As Rome wakes up from the summer break, the war for the Synod has begun. Those who wish changes to Catholic doctrine have allies in the Catholic media and the mainstream media. You should be aware of what is going … Read More

Hate on the Church media feeding frenzy

Card. Pell about liberal media on Pope Francis and use of media in the future
I have been saying from Day 2 of Pope Francis’ pontificate that, eventually, the liberal MSM (and ‘c’atholic media as well) would turn on Francis once they figured out he isn’t on their side of their pet issues. I read … Read More

Voris on Francis, off-the-cuff remarks, and the MSM
Here is Michael Voris on the “Who am I to judge!” line from Pope Francis on the airplane. He puts his foot wrong in calling Msgr. Ricca a bishop (he isn’t) but that doesn’t change the substance of what Voris … Read More
