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

Jesuit-run Gonzaga University rejects Knights of Columbus?
This is absurd. The last acceptable prejudice around these days is to hate faithful practicing Catholics who accept the Churches teachings on faith and moral. Now the acceptable prejudice is creeping into the catholic community itself. I read at Catholic … Read More
Fishwrap supports the US bishops… once in a while
The Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) today has an article about the US bishops and the hotly debated gun-control legislation. In evidence is their use of a story from the Religion News Service. As the Senate takes up a heated … Read More
CNN insinuates that Archbp. Vigneron “dialed back” his words about promoters of same-sex marriage and Holy Communion
There is a deeply flawed, perhaps even mendacious, piece on CNN about Archbishop Vigneron’s comments about Catholics who promote same-sex marriage and reception of Holy Communion. I posted about that HERE. The CNN article suggests, implies, hints, that the Archdiocese … Read More
Fishwrap’s Winters responds
Over the National Schismatic Reporter, Michael Sean Winters has responded to something I wrote HERE. Winters is mostly wrong about things, but he occasionally right and, when he is, I have happily said so here. Winters opens with a little … Read More

MSM and liberal view of Francis v. Benedict
The folks at Rorate got something right about Pope Francis and treatment by the slobbering mainstream media and catholics. How the mainstream media (and many Catholics) view the papacy “What on earth is that Hitler Youth member doing with those … Read More

Some people are all quivery about Pope Francis new humble style. “Isn’t he wonderful?”, they exclaim. “He’s getting rid of all that fancy stuff for liturgy! The days of that obviously arrogant old Pope Benedict are over. Now we have … Read More

Pope Francis and confessions (and liberals)
Liberals are crowing about how wonderful Pope Francis new liturgical style is. “Everyone should imitate him!”, they exalt. Okay, my little friends, hearing confessions, the Sacrament of Penance, is LITURGY. Here is something I picked up from Catholic World News. … Read More

Obama Admin in Army Reserve brief lumps Catholicism in with Al Qaeda, Hamas, KKK
I call it “creeping incrementalism”. Liberals will state or propose something outrageous. There is an outcry against it. They back done. They wait for awhile. They do it again. There is an outcry, but the outcry isn’t quite as … Read More
A Catholic university denies student K of C group because it’s… for Catholics

For Fishwrap, El Pueblo knows best!
Over at the National Schismatic Reporter, Michael Sean Winters has a supremely naïve piece (for which I hope he was paid by the word). Winters lays out a grand plan for Pope Francis to reform the Roman Curia and why. … Read More
