“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.”

Wow, impressive that he’s facing ad orientem at Masses with Children.
Fr. Fisher is an excellent priest, and a good friend. I studied canon law with him in Ottawa, and can attest to his brilliance, his wit and his graciousness. Back in the days of the indult, he would daily celebrate the TLM in the chapel at the student residence, which was wholly unsuited for such a Mass – shag carpeting, plywood altar, low ceiling. Yet even in such a setting, the transcendence of the Mass would come through.
He also has some interesting insights into clerics and clamorous hunting, best shared over a nice cold martini.
And Mr Ferguson mixes a most excellent Martini I must say.
Is that the parish in which Fr. Nesbitt of the Faith Movement is a priest ?
No, Fr Nesbitt is parish priest of Folkestone; about 30 miles from here. Same diocese though.
An appropriate drink to have after a traditional mass should surely be a “Dry Montini” in memory of our beloved Paul VI (as opposed to Martini)
It is a pity that the Abbey at Ramsgate is failing. I know it does not own the church it uses but its not likely to give up posession of it so that it can be used properly again (for a liturgy Pugin could stomach!) even if the diocese wanted it.
The monks have consistently withdrawn & left Fr Fisher to cope single-handedly. Thank you Fr, you are doing well & have a lot of damage to repair in this town thanks to OSB.
