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

Libertarians unmasked!
Like a bad commercial jingle that has become annoying ear worm, libs such as the catholic writers at the National Schismatic Reporter (aka Fishwrap) accuse anyone who favors expansive, dynamic free markets of being a Randian who hates the poor and – *GASP* … Continue reading

Sam Gregg: Intrinsic Evils, Final Realities, and the Synod
At CWR, Sam Gregg has a good piece of analysis. Samples… It was inevitable. Any discussion about marriage and the family during a synod of Catholic bishops was always going to involve questions of morality. Just as the furor around Humanae … Continue reading

Latin American Catholicism, the jury is still out

Some of the mistakes we make in life can’t be fixed.
Today I read Sam Gregg’s great piece at American Spectator today wherein he unloaded on sentimentalism. HERE A sample: Despite its claims to take the mind seriously, sentimental humanitarianism is also rather “uncomfortable” (to use classic sentimental humanitarian language) with … Continue reading
Latin America needs a revolution: a liberal and Catholic revolution
Liberation Theology is having a bit of a revival. Is this good? I am skeptical. The problem with the Left is that they talk and talk with all sorts of grand words but they don’t explain how to create wealth … Continue reading
