You’ve posted many food related things, all of which look great. Rome should take note of this, and appoint you as the Holy Father’s chief chef, Father!
You’ve ripped out the heart of dissent, trussed it up with the rigid cords of truth, stuffed it with a rich filling of fidelity (and rosemary, that’s for remembrance!) and are grilling it on the hot and persistent coals of orthodoxy.
Alas, Father, as my mother beigns to mourn my upcoming return to the seminary and starts cooking my favorite meals, you turned tonights pot roast into a second string meal. Oh well, soon I will forget about your tempting roast and remember my mother’s pot roast while I am facing a plate of brown mystery meat.
the long standing joke is that we free many souls from purgatory for that very reason. But as Archbishop Fulton J Sheen said, the seminiarian complains about the food and the priest the Divine Office (Thank the good Lord I haven’t seen that )
Cortney: The title for the cookbook could be “Save the Recipe, Save the World” or “Eat the Black (Angus), Drink the Red.”
Of course, Father would accompany the cookbook with an appropriate podcazt: “Today our guest is the cook of Saint Augustine of Hippo, the famous Gustibus….”

Comment by John Enright
After a few months with Fr Z’s gourmet offerings, BXVI would look like JXXIII.
So, Father, I would rub a pesto mixture on one side of a butterflied leg, roll it, and then bind it with string? (I have a leg of lamb in my fridge and an enormous basil plant in my garden.)
Thanks, Father. We’ll be cooking it on a Weber for supper this week.

“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

Everyone, work to get this into your parish bulletins and diocesan papers.
The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation He can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clerics who are priests more in name than in deed, priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than the charity and affection of devoted shepherds.

“Until the Lord be pleased to settle, through the instrumentality of the princes of the Church and the lawful ministers of His justice, the trouble aroused by the pride of a few and the ignorance of some others, let us with the help of God endeavor with calm and humble patience to render love for hatred, to avoid disputes with the silly, to keep to the truth and not fight with the weapons of falsehood, and to beg of God at all times that in all our thoughts and desires, in all our words and actions, He may hold the first place who calls Himself the origin of all things.”

This REALLY helps! And it’s great coffee (and tea)

“He [Satan] will set up a counter-Church which will be the ape of the Church because, he the devil, is the ape of God. It will have all the notes and characteristics of the Church, but in reverse and emptied of its divine content. It will be a mystical body of the anti-Christ that will in all externals resemble the mystical body of Christ. In desperate need for God, whom he nevertheless refuses to adore, modern man in his loneliness and frustration will hunger more and more for membership in a community that will give him enlargement of purpose, but at the cost of losing himself in some vague collectivity.”
“Who is going to save our Church? Not our bishops, not our priests and religious. It is up to you, the people. You have the minds, the eyes, and the ears to save the Church. Your mission is to see that your priests act like priests, your bishops act like bishops.”
“The modern habit of doing ceremonial things unceremoniously is no proof of humility; rather it proves the offender's inability to forget himself in the rite, and his readiness to spoil for every one else the proper pleasure of ritual.”
- C.S. Lewis

As for Latin…
"But if, in any layman who is indeed imbued with literature, ignorance of the Latin language, which we can truly call the 'catholic' language, indicates a certain sluggishness in his love toward the Church, how much more fitting it is that each and every cleric should be adequately practiced and skilled in that language!" - Pius XI
"Let us realize that this remark of Cicero (Brutus 37, 140) can be in a certain way referred to [young lay people]: 'It is not so much a matter of distinction to know Latin as it is disgraceful not to know it.'" - St. John Paul II
Grant unto thy Church, we beseech Thee, O merciful God, that She, being gathered together by the Holy Ghost, may be in no wise troubled by attack from her foes. O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of Thy people making supplication unto Thee,and turn away the scourges of Thine anger which we deserve for our sins. Almighty and Everlasting God, in whose Hand are the power and the government of every realm: look down upon and help the Christian people that the heathen nations who trust in the fierceness of their own might may be crushed by the power of thine Arm. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.

Father, what cut is it?
Wow, Father, that looks lovely! It looks like it is sprouting rosemary. What other goodies did you stuff it with?
ooooh
You’ve posted many food related things, all of which look great. Rome should take note of this, and appoint you as the Holy Father’s chief chef, Father!
Fr. Z
You are the man!
You’ve ripped out the heart of dissent, trussed it up with the rigid cords of truth, stuffed it with a rich filling of fidelity (and rosemary, that’s for remembrance!) and are grilling it on the hot and persistent coals of orthodoxy.
You must be REALLY hungry.
Alas, Father, as my mother beigns to mourn my upcoming return to the seminary and starts cooking my favorite meals, you turned tonights pot roast into a second string meal. Oh well, soon I will forget about your tempting roast and remember my mother’s pot roast while I am facing a plate of brown mystery meat.
Alex,
Offer it up. ;-)
Looks really good!
Dr Eric,
the long standing joke is that we free many souls from purgatory for that very reason. But as Archbishop Fulton J Sheen said, the seminiarian complains about the food and the priest the Divine Office (Thank the good Lord I haven’t seen that )
I pray that you will be another St. Jean Vianney, young man. :-)
Mmmmmm!
Yummy traditional Sunday supper ;)
How about a Father Z. cookbook, available for sale—with the proceeds used to help feed the birds (and the guests)?!
This was boned leg of lamb, stuffed with homemade pesto.
Invite me Fr.z I’ll come.
I will bring the desert and the wine and do the dishes!!!!!!
Leg o’lamb on a gas-fired grill? You are a gifted chef.
Mary had a little lamb,
She had him with mint jelly,
And everywhere that Mary went,
The lamb was in her belly.
Agnes,
that is quite funny
Father, it looks great. Hope you had nice wine to go along.
yum that looks fab, Father. Pesto stuffed? oooooh. [drool]
Ooooo that looks yummy, Fr. Z!
Yeah, I’m with ssoldie-invite me to one of your suppers!
Maybe you can have AlexE the seminarian come, too!
AlexE – Uttered by at least someone in this household at nearly every Easter dinner.
Fr Z – Should a shepherd be in the habit of… consuming his sheep? Everybody! Run!
Agnes: You seem to be a little anxious!
Agnes: LOL!
Cortney: The title for the cookbook could be “Save the Recipe, Save the World” or “Eat the Black (Angus), Drink the Red.”
Of course, Father would accompany the cookbook with an appropriate podcazt: “Today our guest is the cook of Saint Augustine of Hippo, the famous Gustibus….”
In Christ,

Rich: I wouldn’t just rub some pesto onto the lamb. Put it on in a nice layer.
Thanks, Father. We’ll be cooking it on a Weber for supper this week.
