Apparently WDTPRS was in the news yesterday. I got a message saying that we were in USA Today. Since I was travelling, I didn’t see anything about this.
Does anyone have any more information or links?
It would be nice to see what happened.

About this blog…
“This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” – Fr. Z

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)
I use this when I travel both in these USA and abroad. Very useful. Fast enough for Zoom. I connect my DMR (ham radio) through it. If you use my link, they give me more data. A GREAT back up.
This blog has to earn its keep!
PLEASE subscribe via PayPal if it is useful. Zelle and Wise are better, but PayPal is convenient.
A monthly subscription donation means I have steady income I can plan on. I put you my list of benefactors for whom I pray and for whom I often say Holy Mass.
In view of the rapidly changing challenges I now face, I would like to add more $10/month subscribers. Will you please help?
For a one time donation...
To donate monthly I prefer Zelle because it doesn't extract fees. Use

If you travel internationally, this is a super useful gizmo for your mobile internet data. I use one. If you get one through my link, I get data rewards.

Actually, Fr. Z is mentioned in the sidebar of the article:
Catholic
John Zuhlsdorf
Blogger: Zuhlsdorf, 48, a columnist for The Wanderer and former moderator for the Catholic Online Forum.
Blog: wdtprs.com/blog (acronym for “What does the prayer really say?”); features audio and podcasts to help priests and laypeople learn Latin prayers.
Theme: Traditionalist Catholic culture; “slavish” devotion to translating the Tridentine (Latin) Mass so people will “come to know and love the content more deeply. The content of our prayer is the person of Jesus.”
Hot topic: Pope Benedict XVI’s “monumental” decision to make this 1962 Mass more widely accessible, “although some sectors of the church resist it mightily.”
Tone: Upbeat outreach to “ordinary people trying to live their faith.”
In Christ,
Mark
Father, you are mentioned in a column on the left side of the screen, in a list of notable faith blogs. Here’s what they said:

The problem is I am not the “former” Moderator of the COL Forum. I am the Moderator.
Also, I have not been into “slavish” devotion to translations of the “Tridentine” Mass.
For the last 7 years my columns have been focused on the Novus Ordo!
Can’t people get things right?
However, I am glad to know what happened.
48 years old???? Wow! Father, I thought you were in your early to mid 30s :-) Youthful appearance comes from living the “good life”.
How could you be in the USA Today if you are in Rome?
Don: there is another explanation, he’s using outdated photos :-)
Fr. Z – This is great stuff from SRC colloquium. When & where may we read your full analysis. Abp. Ranjith seems to be just the tonic that SRC needed. Cdl. Arinze exploded a bomb!
Jason: Everyone’s a comedian! o{];¬)
mike c: No, that photo is pretty much what I look like, except when I have jet lag.
Father Z: Also, I have not been into “slavish” devotion to translations of the “Tridentine” Mass.
Well, Father, ya’know, don’tcha, if it’s Latin, it’s the old Mass, and if it’s the new Mass, then it’s just the old translated into something people understand. Hey, Latin is Latin, isn’t it, why split hairs.
I suspect there are plenty of Catholics whose Mass understanding is no deeper than this, and who aren’t interested in hearing any more about it.
Father, arent you a little old to be celebrating the Tridentine Mass? Your at the age when you should be hanging onto your Marty Haugen hymns and guitar Masses for dear life and insisting that Latin is too complicated for anyone to learn!
They seem to have completely missed the fact that Father is a priest! Still fun to see him mentioned, though.
