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

Detroit: 18 March TLM @ National Shrine of The Little Flower

Is The Tablet declaring war?
Apparently England’s weekly The Tablet, which nearly succeeds in making the NCR look moderate, has in its crosshairs Fr. Tim Finigan. Damian Thompson of Holy Smoke has sounded the claxon. As you know, Fr. Finigan, His Hermeneuticalness, is just about … Read More
Rome in the slow lane
