It will be quite the battle. Your Tatler wrote a screed not long ago that, among other things, suggested the Catholic Church should steal back from the Church of England its Book of Common Prayer, to supplant the lame, mediocre English used in vernacular masses. After all, the C of E was Catholic once, andContinue reading “Restoring beauty in the Mass includes the music.”

Never mind stopping it, Governor. How did it get so far? From Leading Report. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott has announced that the state has halted the construction of EPIC City, a proposed 402-acre Muslim-centric residential development. Even with DEI poisoning our society, now being remedied, it fairly boggles the mind that such an absurd projectContinue reading “The ultimate DEI project.”

From the General. BREAKING: Chinese officials told the Trump administration they disregarded their trade commitments under Biden, believing he was too weak to enforce them.

Not allContinue reading “News only to Democrats”

Since an earlier report in this space about things looking hopeful for Britain, but only in a small way, things have changed.  TCW’s Matt Goodwin reports, with regard to Britain’s Nigel Farage and the Reform Party, We are, in short, witnessing a full-blown political revolution against the establishment.

It must be formed in the fire of truth, chastity, self-sacrifice, and Eucharistic love. —Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost (Now Pope Leo XIV) Excerpt from the Speech: “Formation of Priests in the Truth”,March 12, 2022,Pontifical University of Saint Thomas AquinasContinue reading “Warming to the man.”

Your Tatler is having second thoughts about Pope Leo XIV, which does not mean he is thrilled by the conclave’s decision; hardly, and the rather catty screed posted yesterday shall remain up, for now. Extended claws retracted  though, our new pope hardly seems the villain, and the general reaction among your Tatler’s colleagues is, althoughContinue reading “Secunda cogitationes de Leo XIV”

Note: this post was published only a day after Robert Prevost was elected pope. It is sarcastic and wrong. It will remain posted however to remind this blogger not to be so hasty. Sizing Him up. So what is the best thing about our new pope? Without question, his new name, Leo XIV. And theContinue reading “Habemus papam”

The power of teaching frightens many people in and outside the Church. They wonder whether freedom of conscience is threatened or whether it is a presumption opposed to freedom of thought.
