“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

Stunning unexpected support for Fr. Z’s request for LCWR credentials!
As you know, I was recently crushed by the LCWR’s second rejection. I had reached out in hope. I had applied, again, for media credentials for the upcoming LCWR assembly in Nashville. They have rebuffed, again, my application. “Where’s their prophetic … Read More
Sr. Joan’s Honey-Do List for the Synod

When an organization needs to deflect or obfuscate or change the subject (because things are going wrong), it uses surrogates. Does Sr. Joan Chittister speak for the LCWR? Is she one of their surrogates? Sr. Zinn at the LCWR should … Read More

Who are these ‘c’atholic liberals? Young Catholics don’t know and don’t care.

Where is Sr. Joan?
Sr. Joan Chittister must be conflicted. On the one hand she is a Dorothy Day Wannabe. She’s a global community organizer! She’s a defender of the oppressed! On the other hand, Dorothy Day was dead set against the ordination of … Read More

Notes on Sr. Chittister’s talk to LCWR, and then there is a Presbyterian
