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

“Supertradmum” (Marie Dean): R.I.P. – 10 Oct 2019
You might remember frequent comments here from Marie Dean, “Supertradmum”, who had her own blog. I ran into my post about her passing, 1 year ago yesterday. In your kindness you might say a prayer for her.

WDTPRS Collect 19th Sunday after Pentecost- “Why did God make you?”
The snippers and stitchers of the Consilium allowed this Sunday’s prayer to survive unscathed in the post-Conciliar editions of the Missale Romanum. The Collect still echoes the ancient sentiments of Holy Church wherever the Roman Rite’s Ordinary Use of Holy … Read More
