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

Truly pathetic musings at the Fishwrap about priesthood and those halcyon days of Vatican II

Why homosexualists hate Papa Ratzinger so much.
Fr. John Hunwicke has at his place a thoughtful piece about why some people hate Papa Ratzinger so very much. I think he has it right. He reposted some items which still hold up. For example, from … Read More
Solipsistic, self-aggrandizing @FatherRosica dares to vet Catholic news sources
