Over at Badger Catholic, they’ve got a post on how the bishops of the USA have been invited to join in a 54 day rosary novena. Granted, the novena was scheduled to start 3 days ago (on the Assumption) and run until that other great Marian feast, the feast of Our Lady of the Most […]
Are you a human in need of fixing? Do you think that you’re fine “just the way God made you”? Well, if you’re a Christian, you probably need to fix at least some things in your life, because we aren’t all perfect, and we won’t be, at least not until getting to Heaven. And as […]
The inestimable Dr Peter Kwasniewski and Michael P Foley have recently published an article over at OnePeterFive entitled “Ten Reasons to Attend the Traditional Latin Mass.” With all the drama over “liturgy wars,” the hassle of finding a TLM, of wrestling the (usually) inconvenient times into the Sunday schedule, it’s important to remember and think […]
Over at (you guessed it!) the Badger Catholic, there is a post covering the largest ordination class in the Madison diocese in the last 42 years. Now, the fact alone of Madison ordaining six men to the priesthood (considering it’s only a diocese of 270,000 Catholics, and a place like the Archdiocese of Louisville with […]

This post is an adaptation of something I wrote elsewhere. For some reason, it is nowadays trendy and hip among Catholic circles to just start hatin’ on America because it’s not a monarchy, it’s not trad, the gov’t is going to pot, it’s Masonic, it’s not run by the resurrected body of Pope St Pius […]
Longinqua oceani, Wide Expanse of the Ocean To the Archbishops and Bishops of the United States. We traverse in spirit and thought the wide expanse of ocean; and although We have at other times addressed you in writing – chiefly when We directed Encyclical Letters to the bishops of the Catholic world-yet have We now resolved […]
Let’s kick this week off with some good news and stories! First, check out the WI bishop SCOTUS reaction roundup over at the Badger Catholic. My favorite response to the ruling has to be Bp Morlino’s: The Church’s response to the ruling by the Supreme Court of the United States, recognizing “same-sex marriage”, is the […]
