“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

“For me the saddest thing about Father Z’s blog is how cruel it is.... It’s astonishing to me that a priest could traffic in such cruelty and hatred.”

So, I’m confused. Did Pelosi say that to Paulson or did he say that to her. I guess it doen’t matter. Either way makes sense given Pelosi’s recent very non Catholic abortion comments.
I love Thomas Peter’s (from American Papist) response on this from last Thursday:
The former Goldman Sachs CEO even went down on one knee as if genuflecting, to which Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Cal.) is said to have joked, “I didn’t know you were Catholic.”
That’s funny, Madame Speaker, I wasn’t sure you were, either.
I know Vae tibi tam nigrae, dicebat caccabus ollae is essentially “The pot calling the kettle black”, but what is the literal translation?
Is this accurate: “‘Alas, so black you are,’ said the pot to the kettle.”
Jeff: I think I would say something like, “‘Woe to you, so black you are!’ said the frying pan to the cooking pot.”
I am not absolutely certain I got the shape of the cooking vessels right, but I think so. I am going by what I can discern in the ancient cook book by Apicius, De re cuinaria which probably dates to the end of the 4th beginning of the 5th c. (i.e., around the time of St. Augustine!).
In that ancient book of cooking I found both caccubum and olla.
Here is the recipe. Let me know what you think – aside from the fact that it looks pretty good:
See what I mean? I could call that caccubum a roasting pan, I suppose, but I think frying pan fits.
Now that hunting season is coming, and some ducks and other birds will be coming my way to die and to be eaten – bless them – I might have to try this. Somewhere on a shelf I have the English edition of Apicius someone worked up. Perhaps this recipie is included.
Please note that the word is probably caccabum, i, n. rather than masculine caccabus. In that phrase the writer probably just changed it in order to avoid the elision and thus screw up a good line.
