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

Michael Voris, Card. Burke… corrections
Get this from Michael Voris: Michael stood up. Good for him. UPDATE 24 Oct: It has been interesting reading the reactions to what Mr. Voris did. I wonder if some people, especially over at The Olympian Middle, aren’t mired in … Read More
ROME – Day 3: Vestments, cont. Other stuff.
This morning we had Mass at Ss. Trinità dei Pellegrini, the FSSP parish. They are always welcoming and helpful when priests want to say Mass. I like the way the amices are done here. The ribbons can be removed easily, … Read More
ROME – Day 2: Vestments edition
This morning the group went off to the Audience and some time in the Museum, both of which I passed. On my way to meet a priest friend at Gammarelli I stopped at Sant’Eustachio. Just a nice view, inside a … Read More
Oh the humanity!
Okay… we orthodox, faithful, conservative Catholics are the most flexible people around, but this simply needs some sort of intervention. Michael Voris is in Rome. He was doing some coverage of the Synod and has stayed also for the trad … Read More
D. Pittsburgh: Extraordinary Form Parish
I firmly believe that when the older form of Holy Mass is celebrated in more places, we will have a sounder basis for the “New Evangelization” called for by our Popes. Thus, celebrations of the Extraordinary Form must not be … Read More
Pope Francis, Pope
I have been, frankly, both exhausted and a bit disgusted after the last Synod and I have been trying to have a little RnR. That doesn’t make for a lot of posting of edgy stuff. So, here’s a little meat … Read More
Sistine Chapel “rented” out to Porsche?
Someone allowed the the Sistine Chapel to be “rented” for a corporate event. HERE Someone else in the Holy Sees denies that it was “rented”. However, a big German corporation gave money to the Holy See and, after that, … Read More

ROMA – Day 1: Hitting the ground running
Here we are again. I arrived in time for rush hour. The flight was uneventful, which is how I like them.
Card. Kasper invokes journalist war against another Cardinal?
Card. Kasper looks around for people to blame for his own enormous gaffe. But the ending is a little … dunno… threatening? From CWR. Go there for links and other stuff. The controversy about statements made last week about African … Read More
