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

Fishwrap: less than enthusiastic about new ITC document on “sensus fidei”.
Over at Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter), knickers are in twists over the recently issued document from the International Theological Commission, “‘Sensus Fidei’ in the Life of the Church“. As you will recall, at Fishwrap, “sensus fidei“, closely related to … Read More
Hey Fishwrap! This is what “sentire cum Ecclesia” REALLY means!
I wonder which of the master wordsmiths at Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) cobbled up the clucking editorial cum open letter to Pope Francis. NSR is displaying their case of the vapors over the mean old Vatican’s treatment of the consciously evolved sister-leaders … Read More
