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

Fervorino from a Votive Mass for the Deliverance from Death in Time of Pestilence (The Wuhan Devil)
I’ve been asked by a couple of people to post a fervorino from yesterday, for a Votive Mass in time of Pandemic.
ASK FATHER: I have heard of “Apostolic Pardon” but “Apostolic Blessing”?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I have heard of “Apostolic Blessing” — is that the same thing but with a different name (eg: “reconciliation” == “confession” == “Sacrament of Penance”)? I’ve written about the IMPORTANT Apostolic Pardon quite a few times. … Read More

Reacting to article titles
At Crisis there are three article titles that caught my eye and garnered an instant reaction before I read them. Don’t get into the bad habit (that some of you readers here do have) of reacting to titles without reading the posts. So, … Read More
