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

Final Considerations of the 2nd Study Commission on the Female Diaconate
The issue of female diaconate has been effectively deep-sixed by the second commission set up by Francis. The first commission was historical and this one was more theological. The first said, there isn’t conclusive evidence of female diaconate (so… no!). … Read More
Three items of interest: a conversion, a connection, and a con job
Three things in particular caught my eye this morning. Two of them are connected with each other and they ring of good common sense and faith. The other clanks of delusional blather. First, at LifeSite we read finally the news made … Read More

From a reader… QUAERITUR: I know women can’t become priests, but…can they become deacons? The thought never entered my mind before, but upon gathering some resources for a friend who had asked why women cannot become priests, I found a video … Read More

ASK FATHER: Can deacons use the Rituale Romanum to bless things?
From a deacon…. QUAERITUR: Is it your opinion that a deacon can use most of the blessings contained in the older form of the Ritual? I took this for granted during formation for diaconal ordination, and totally dismissed the Book … Read More
Liberal Ass. of U.S. Catholic Priests is now pushing for the ordination of women
I read at Church Militant that the renegade, liberal Ass. of U.S. Catholic Priests is now pushing for the ordination of women, first to the diaconate. This is not going to happen, but the confusion sown by such support warrants … Read More

ASK FATHER: If traditional Catholics and converts will eventually merge, where does that leave people who want the Novus Ordo?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I’m in formation for ordination to the NO diaconate in three years, Lord willing. I’ve been to one TLM mass in Florida years ago. My question concerns us faithful NO Catholics. When you say that the … Read More
Fishwrap (aka National Schismatic Reporter) on the YACOD (aka YET ANOTHER Commission on Deaconettes)
The Fishwrap has an article replete with wailing and hand ringing. In a nut shell (a pretty good description of what’s inside the wrap that is that publication) they lament that there are members of YET ANOTHER Commission on women … Read More

ASK FATHER: Deacons in the Novus Ordo
From a diaconal reader… QUAERITUR: I have begun serving Solemn High Masses, at local parishes near my assignment for a couple of years now. The experience of serving at the Latin Mass has enriched my diaconal ministry in ways that … Read More
