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

NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo – excommunication? Can. 915?
Prof. Ed Peters, canonist (whom I still think is wrong about a question concerning Mass obligations – but I digress), has posted something instructive about catholic politicians who truly need some medicinal help from Holy Mother Church. We enter in … Read More
Dissident Irish priest about to get hammered into the ground by the CDF.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith’s process is slow and patient and respectful, to a fault, when certain people and their odd theological notions come under study. It takes a lot to get scrutinized by the CDF in … Read More

“Sisters for Obama?” Oh… that’s not… right… no….
My stomach turned as a I saw on the site of WaPo some photos of the preparation for the inauguration of the President – you know the one – tomorrow. No no no. That’s just wrong. I’d like to know who … Read More
The War on Boys continues? School shootings result?
I have a sneaking suspicion that the emotion driven, reason challenged, frenzy in the media about gun control has something to do with decades of systematic work in academia to emasculate boys and men. Yes, sheer unethical politics is a … Read More
Mr. President, pleeeeease issue an executive order to outlaw the Catholic Church? Pretty please?
Stock in gun companies is going up, because of this gun-control thing. Pres. Obama has a jihad against guns… gun and ammo sales soar to record levels. In a gun shop I saw a photo of the President with the … Read More

Welcome to Sodom
A priest friend shared this, taken from the Pastor’s Page of Our Lady of Lourdes in Bethesda, MA: Pastor’s Letter Welcome to Sodom. Yes, that is what Maryland has now become. Sodom with its neighbor Gomorrah was a city of … Read More
“Band of Sisters” documentary about liberal women religious premiers
We start a new work week with some old fashioned dissent. And I mean old. Picture if you will the paradox of a visible but invisible group of women religious dissenters. Even as they stay in the public eye, because … Read More
Anti-Catholic appointment to Connecticut Supreme Court
Liberals work to warp society and to undermine the Catholic Church from within and without, through creeping incrementalism. They introduce some odd ball scheme, it gets shot down. They have bumped the paradgim a little bit toward their goal. They … Read More

March For Life VIDEO! Obama for the … Unborn?!?
Some people are getting it. Liberals, even – to their eternal shame liberal catholics – are hijacking pro-life language as a way of promoting strict gun-control as if it were a pro-life issue. What they are really trying to do is silence … Read More
