Religion and politics, a poor mix.

The unending vitriol from Rome directed at Usus Antiquior enthusiasts, celebrants, and worshipers alike, has reached the point where this writer is coming to believe politics has more to do with it than liturgy. The gradual takeover by the left of our major institutions, here and abroad: government, education, professions, and even corporate, is allContinue reading “Religion and politics, a poor mix.”

New Site.

https://taostatlerhome.wordpress.com/ To my faithful readers, Because unsolicited and cringeworthy, ads started springing up on my free WordPress site, I bit the bullet and shelled out for an upgraded, ad-free site. Proprietor WordPress claims my new, paid-for site has various gimcracks and geegaws which will dazzle and enhance your blogging experience. Uh-huh. Meanwhile, please make aContinue reading “New Site.”

Oh brave new world that lacks such words and letters in’t.

Or: Who cares if you can’t make sense of it? At the turn of this century a so-called “experimental poet,” Christian Bök, published a book of poetry in five chapters, which were not numbered but lettered, i. e., chapters A, B, C, D, E. Why, you ask? To indicate to the reader the sole vowelContinue reading “Oh brave new world that lacks such words and letters in’t.”

But the most repeated word is terror. It isContinue reading “Astonishing intelligence from inside the Vatican.”

Alhamdulillah! The End of Ireland.

Catholicism plummets, Islam soars. From the Church Militant. The Muslim name Muhammad is now the most popular birth name in one of Ireland’s most populous cities. According to Ireland’s Central Statistics Office, Muhammad was the most common birth name for boys in the city of Galway in 2022, marking a first in the once deeply Catholic nation’s history. IrishContinue reading “Alhamdulillah! The End of Ireland.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself. No.

Note: As regular readers of this blog may know (and apologies for the fewer and fewer posts), I* have been wrestling with deciding whether to stay in the Holy Catholic Church or to leave her. The struggle may be over. Mr Beeler has it right. No. Simply no. Meanwhile, the Pope is at it again,Continue reading “Couldn’t have said it better myself. No.”
