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

The Children of Men
I just returned from a viewing of the new movie The Children of Men. The movie is loosely… loosely… based on the book of the same title by P.D. James. If you harbor any hope that the movie stays close … Read More

Sometimes a photo is enough
This is how my day started. How about yours? We had thunderstorms during the night. This morning, as another wave of the system went through, I caught this.
Here’s a knee slapper from The Remnant
I found a rather funny comment on the site of The Remnant (emphasis mine): For traditionalist Catholics nothing is more symptomatic of the crisis in the Church than the deliberate mistranslation of pro vobis et pro multis—for you and for … Read More
The worst newpapers
The blog of Powerline has a list of the worst newspapers in the USA. Interesting. Scott recently suggested that the Minneapolis Star Tribune may be America’s worst newspaper. That produced lots of emails from readers who nominated their own newspapers, … Read More
Did John Paul II write “pro omnibus”?
I learned about something at The Undercroft, stemming from something else at Valle Adurni … something rather serious. I am obliged to add additional information to put things straight. Some folks have incorrectly speculated that the late Pope John Paul … Read More
