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

ACTION ITEM! “I will not permit myself to be confused.”
Let me repeat… Repetita iuvant! Repeated things help! Repetitio mater discendi! Repetition is the mother of learning! Changing the image a bit… Si vis pacem, para bellum! If you want peace, prepare for war. A couple weeks ago in Rome I attended … Continue reading

Another reason why the TLM cannot be killed off. Boys.
At Aleteia, which I also never look at, there is a piece very much worth reading from top to bottom. I’m glad a friend alerted me to this. A man with sons set them to a hard task. He muses … Continue reading
