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

Larry Chapp NAPALMs a Cardinal!
On fire. I wrote about his piece in the Catholic World Report this morning. Now, he has an interview with Mark of Catholic Unscripted. He hits so many points, many of which I’ve made over the decades. He really flames … Read More

Chicago: Cathedral Rosary Rally for the restoration of the TLM interrupted by an assault
This deserves wider attention. It underscores the attitude of cruelty unleashed in the tragically ill-conceived, ineptly named Traditionis custodes. In that unfortunate Archdiocese of Chicago, this … at the cathedral. From 1 Peter 5: Chicago Rosary Rally Assaulted Since February … Read More
If a law isn’t accepted, it is essentially no law at all. Traditionis? Time will tell. Novus Ordo? Time has told.
In another post I mention reception theory regarding law, specifically Traditionis custodes. If a law isn’t accepted by the group for whom it is intended, it is essentially no law at all. One could, by this, contend that laws that were … Read More
Hilarious statement from the Archdiocese of Chicago about the suppression of the Institute of Christ the King
ABC7 Chicago has a blurb about the Institute of Christ the King’s Shrine on the South side. This is hilarious. “On July 31, the Shrine of Christ the King communicated to the archdiocese that they would stop offering Mass and … Read More
ACTION ITEM: Prayer to avert a serious act of persecution – UPDATED
