“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

VIDEO: More Communion Disaster – “Pax Christi” @PaxChristiEP of @ArchdioceseSPM. UPDATED
UPDATE: A priest friend of mine in the Archdiocese just informed me that this sacrilegious farce was shut down. Thanks be to God. I’ll leave the post, however, as a record of their nuttiness and as a warning to other … Read More

Communion in the hand was bad enough. Priest tells people to hold hosts in their hands while he consecrates
If only priests were as hard working to develop reverence in their parishes as they are to facilitate communion-no-matter-what and for-anyone-at-all. There is a piece at LifeSite, in which I am heavily quoted, about a priest who came up with … Read More
How bad is the state of the Catholic Faith in Germany?

As Masses open up, priests told to DROP Hosts onto hands, Communion on the tongue is banned
As public Masses start up again, people are sending notes with indications from different dioceses about distribution of Holy Communion. Under the excuse of being “realistic” and so forth, chanceries are writing for their bishops – I prefer to believe … Read More

ASK FATHER: Assistant priest wonders what to do if pastor won’t speak to adulterous couples who receive Communion.
From a priest… QUAERITUR: Here is a question which perhaps you could answer for those of us who are parochial vicars. What should we do if people regularly present themselves for communion who are married outside the Church? Ordinarily, we … Read More
