Would that more prelates could screw up their courage and have at these wayward souls.
Even if they’re not Anglicans. From the Daily Mail. Britain’s most senior Roman Catholic cleric has hit out at the ‘woke’ rewriting of Christmas carols. Cardinal Vincent Nichols said preserving traditional songs was more important than ‘sensitivities which come and go’. His comments came after a Church of England carol service sparked outrage by featuring an ‘inclusive’ versionContinue reading “Would that more prelates could screw up their courage and have at these wayward souls.”
Clement XIV, pray for us.
More foolishness from the Jesuits. From America, the organ of the Jesuits: Pope Francis was finally asked the question we have always wanted to hear him answer—what would he say to a woman feeling the pain of a sincerely discerned and unfulfilled call to priesthood? Unfortunately, when asked that pastoral question by executive editor KerryContinue reading “Clement XIV, pray for us.”

Reaching bottom?
Lower, lower, lower, he sinks. Question: Will we ever reach the point where even Democrats concede this drooling idiot in the White House is unfit for office? Answer: No. From the New York Post: A befuddled President Biden casually maligned the Irish while botching his wife’s family history during a gaffe-filled appearance in Delaware onContinue reading “Reaching bottom?”
What residents of the Empire State may look forward to in the coming year.
From here. The late William F. Buckley, founder of the National Review, now only a faint semblance of its former self when the founder was still alive, once said, to great wailing and gnashing of the teeth from his targets: “Liberals don’t care what you do so long as it’s compulsory.” That was long agoContinue reading “What residents of the Empire State may look forward to in the coming year.”
21st-century ecumenism?
After enjoying a hearty laugh over the ludicrous blasphemy seen on the flyer above, (outrage isn’t worth the bother), your Tatler, chewing on the matter a bit, realized the last sentence overleaf: “Yes, we are awesome,” serves nicely as a credo for the increasing number of secular religions springing up over the years, filling theContinue reading “21st-century ecumenism?”
Heartwarming Christmas cheer from a freezing Hungarian church.
One of your Tatler’s favorite composers, Ralph (pronounced rāfe–God bless those Brits) Vaughan Williams’s lovely Fantasia on Christmas Carols, here receives a fine reading in an unspecified Catholic church, wanting both heat and paint, in Szolnok, Hungary. The extreme circumstances seem not to have bothered in the least the forces involved, nor the audience. UpliftingContinue reading “Heartwarming Christmas cheer from a freezing Hungarian church.”
Possibly good news: declining college enrollments.
College enrollments are sharply decreasing according to Axios, 10% during the Covid pandemic and continuing still. From the report: Why is this possibly good news? Colleges and universities are by far the most responsible for the leftist indoctrination of young people. While most of the secondary schools in this country, both public and private, certainlyContinue reading “Possibly good news: declining college enrollments.”
Invisibilium.
This past Sunday your Tatler, for the first time in some time, attended missa antquior, the Latin mass, at a small mission church on a Tewa pueblo, joining the schola cantorum doing the chants. There were a decent number, 50 to 60, in the pews and plenty of children squealing and squawking, music to theContinue reading “Invisibilium.”
