Where is the Latin Mass in Rome?
Editor’s note: here we present Romanitas, a series led by Vincenzo Randazzo from Rome. Romanitas will explore Catholic culture from the city of Rome with historical and contemporary commentary. Mr. Randazzo has already written about the Roman attitude toward their bishop, the pope. Here Randazzo shares about three locations for the Latin Mass in Rome. […]
On Human Barrel Organs
The following analogy was first shared with me in an email in Portuguese by a reader, who kindly gave me permission to develop it into an article. He joins many others who have sent me a seed that has germinated on my desktop, and for whose literary stimuli I am deeply grateful. A barrel organ […]
The Canadian Uprising
Currently in my country we are undergoing a sort of uprising or rebellion, and the vehicle for this movement – pun intended – is the Freedom Convoy of Canadian truckers. This convoy has taken it upon themselves to occupy the heart of the nation’s capital in an attempt to force the hand of Trudeau’s regime […]
The First Monthly Chicago Rosary Rally for the Latin Mass
As with every Sunday for the last twelve years, my family drove the long 1.5 hour one-way drive up to Chicago for the Mass of the Ages on Sunday, February 6th, 2022.

On the Theological Impossibility of Dealing with Abusive Fatherhood
Like the Priesthood, and certainly even more fundamental than any clerical calling, biological fatherhood manifests its form in a single biological act which then reaches through a multiplicity of identities to the very existential zenith defined by God’s own self-revelation. It is a reality which lies at the cornerstone of human experience and being itself, […]
The Family and the Church Militant
As it happens, I wrote about this very Sunday a couple of months ago, at the beginning of November. That’s because of when Easter fell last year. There were few Sundays between Epiphany and pre-Lent’s Septuagesima Sunday and empty slots to fill before Advent 2021 began. Hence, this Sunday’s and next Sunday’s (5th and 6th) […]
