“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.”

Next to Jesus and the Blessed Mother, Fr. Z is the celebrity of any church’s grounds when present ;) Don’t worry, Fr. Z, St. Joseph doesn’t mind his shadowy existence. It’s his MO.
Pax!
I’m a big fan of Fr Z as well…

It is good to see a fellow Port Richmondite represented among the Seminarians. St. Ann’s (on Lehigh Avenue) has been the fertile fields for many good priests in its lengthy history. So has my now former parish, Nativity BVM on Allegheny Avenue (one of three Catholic Churches within a mile). The others are Our Lady Help of Christians and Saint Adalbert. Woo-Hoo, Port Richmond is now GLOBAL!
PRAY FOR GOOD AND HOLY VOCATIONS!
CHRIS!!
While here in Norcia, Italy for an ordination, we had several seminarians from the North American College come up. I must say, they appear to be some pretty solid guys. It’s great to see some good men from diocese around the United States on the way to the priesthood.
Pray for them and for more vocations.
Hmm, now I’ll have to live vicariously through my classmates…
Delighted! Please, Fr. Z. continue along this line of reporting. Let’s pray for these young men.
I attended seminary with these guys. Good friends…

This is great, Father. When seminarians take the time to look for a certain priest it says a lot about the priest. Look at all the people who show up for the blognics you host in the different locales you visit. It’s a wonderful thing. :)
God bless.
God give us holy priests!
What helps much is when priests who are happy in their vocation spend time with seminarians. Keep up the good work Father Z! These look
like really fine young men. May they persevere in their vocation! Tom
