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

Bp. Trautman: “pro multis” confusing
My good friend Mr. John Allen formerly ubiquitous and still writing for the NCR presented a provocative headline: Trautman says change on ‘pro multis’ may confuse teaching that Christ died for all According to a press release issued by a … Read More
Sundown and sunny foggy morning
I was hoping I might be able to catch a glimpse of the brightening comet McNaught last night before I had to head off to meet my peeps. Instead, some clouds got in the way. This morning, on the other … Read More
Pasta Wielgus

Priests who want “tradition” but retain “versus populum”?
Someone asked a a rather off topic question in another entry. The question was worthy of attention in its own right, so here it is. Why is it that many Diocesan Priests that love the TLM and pray for its … Read More

Dies agonalis
As the interesting rougeclassicism remind us, in the very much more ancient traditional Roman calendar, today, is ante diem v idus januarias. It is one of the Agonalia (or Agonia or Agnoium), one of four dies agonales (9 January, 17 … Read More
Jet and news lagging
The "confusion of schedule" as we call it in Italian is taking its usual toll. I functioning, however. My spies are beginning to report in and I am once again news gathering.
Harry Potter in Latin
I have received a tip that Peter Needham has translated another Harry Potter book into Latin. Here is the book review. The first was called Harrius Potter et Philosophi Lapis. I am not sure about that "Harrius" for "Harry". When … Read More
