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

The execrable BoB, Happy Water, and You (UPDATED with a POLL)
Concerning the origins of the dreadful “Book of Blessings” (De Benedictionibus), which ironically doesn’t bless anything. I thought there was one prayer which truly blessed, an option for a rosary with the traditional version they ported in, but they changed … Continue reading

The Feast of St. Maximilian Kolbe was yesterday, but I was travelling and unable to do much online. Thus, I missed a question from a reader about the Latin orations so that he could be more properly celebrated in the … Continue reading
C’mon guys! You can do better!

Diane Montagna has a Substack (I still haven’t figured that out yet) about the extremely dodgy excuses for the cruel “Traditionis custodes”. She had published the summary of the survey of bishops. She asked about it during a presser. She … Continue reading

Coincidence…. I think… yeah! Msgr. Bux new BOOK on the leaked bishops survey about Summorum Pontificum.
Diane put out the “leaked” report about the bishop’s survey that didn’t go Francis way, so Francis went his own way and issued the stunning failure Taurina cacata… Traditionis custodes. Last night being somewhat restless, I cruised about on the interwebs … Continue reading
