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

New, grand SSPX church, Bishops, and Proof of Concept

Meanwhile, in Kansas
This is from 1 March but I just found it today. The SSPX is building an amazing church in Kansas. The altar was installed.
D. Albany: Large old church for sale – $100,000
It isn’t that unusual these days to see that churches are for sale, some of them splendid, all of them once beloved, paid for with the pennies and tears of generations that entrusted their mites to the diocese. It’s sad. … Read More
ASK FATHER: What is the status of SSPX weddings when the local bishop denies permission, delegation?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: I am from a town where the SSPX has recently established a vibrant chapel and has been extremely generous in providing Traditional Latin Mass and other Sacraments in the traditional rite. The local diocesan parish has … Read More
ASK FATHER: Is it a sin to contribute for a side altar at an SSPX chapel?
From a reader… QUAERITUR: Is making a sponsorship to an SSPX church a sin, if one doesn’t support being in Schism. I have a deep love for Our Lady of Guadalupe for example and would like to support the side … Read More
SSPX. As I was saying….
I read something familiar at LifeSite in a piece about Bp. Athanasius Schneider’s remarks about the SSPX. I have often explained in these electronic pages that… There is no question that the Mass celebrated is in a Catholic Rite. The … Read More
ASK FATHER: Should I go to an SSPX chapel for the sake of my family or stick with a parish where things aren’t as good?
Say someone is convinced that the Vetus Ordo is a better channel for living our Catholic identity in this vale of tears. While not doubting that the Novus Ordo is a valid rite and not wholly ineffective, just not as … Read More

Powerful people think that they can suppress the Traditional Latin Mass. They will not succeed. This is one reason why. VIDEO
There are powerful people in the Church who think that they can suppress the Traditional Latin Mass. They will not succeed. This is one reason why. The video is a couple years old, but … that doesn’t make any difference. … Read More
ASK FATHER: Consecration of bishops when there is no Pope
From a reader… QUAERITUR: If Francis were to (God forbid) die tomorrow, how would that affect the rules concerning episcopal consecrations? I saw a comment on this blog saying the SSPX could likely use sede vacante periods to slip by … Read More
ASK FATHER: Can a person commit a schismatic act and not be in “full” schism? “Schroedinger’s Excommunication.”
From a reader… QUAERITUR: Thank you for all of your wonderful, and sometimes saddening articles. They are truly a joy and blessing to read. They have helped me to educated myself in my faith better as well. I was wondering, … Read More
