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

SSPX Statement: We wait for the “serious debate” which will bring ecclesiastic authorities back to Tradition
At the SSPX site DICI we read the General Chapter Statement. Bottom line: Not negative, but clarificatory. They left the door open for more discussions under Archbp. Di Noia. You can read the whole thing there, but here is the … Continue reading
