“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.”

We are praying for him.
Wow. According to Wikipedia, he was ordained 25 August 1935!
May God grant him many happy years. May God give health, years, and grace to a most devoted servant.
Would that we all be so blessed to serve Him thus.
God bless him! Ad multos annos!
ad multos annos !
This reminds me of another priest I know: Fr. Vladimir Kozina who first celebrated the Latin Mass in California after Vatican II. He’s been a priest for a long time too, and I know how you probably feel about Cardinal Mayer. I sincerely hope they may both have several more years serving the Holy Mother Church.
Cardinal Mayer was the first Cardinal I ever met. The second was Joseph Ratzinger, who was standing next to him. Cardinal Mayer kindly loaned me his pen so I could get then Cardinal Ratzinger’s autograph.
Wow, 73 years as a priest. That’s gotta be come kind of record in this day and age. Happy Birthday, indeed.
Ad multos annos!
He looks like a very kind, warmhearted man. Not long ago I ran across an interview Fr. Z. conducted with him several years ago. He sounds like he has been a longtime warrior for the authentic implementation of the fruits of the Second Vatican Council, especially regarding the liturgy. Ad multos et gloriousque annos!
Correction: Ad multos gloriousque annos!
God continue to bless this great good man !
Happy Birthday to His Emminence
Ad multos gloriousque annos!
I suspect that I shan’t meet him until Heaven, if I manage to get there, but I’d certainly like to before then!
God grant him many years in health and happiness!
Congratulations to the Cardinal – I am glad he lived to see Summorum Pontificum
Happy birthday to His Eminence!
Was he ordained in Germany, or Italy?
Mario-how cool that must have been, to meet both Cardinal Mayer and Cardinal Ratzinger at the same time!
I too am glad that he has lived to see Summorum Pontificium!
