“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.”

I dedicate this in particular to a certain Manhattan cleric who – so I am told – has been dismissive of these ornithological posts
WHOA,What do You Mean By That?
Gives new meaning to the word “sardonic.”
Heh, probably one of Fr. Z’s buddies. Nobody like a friend to give you a hard time, and nobody like a New Yorker to give you the bird. So to speak. :)
Hmm… that might make a nice motto for a Cardinal’s coat of arms, if his brethren have a good sense of humor.
They really did an awesome job with the “new” Greek and Roman galleries…one of my favorite NY spots!
LOL regarding the dismissive cleric and unpopular owl.:)
This business about the owl got around.
The 12th century English poem The Owl and the Nightingale references this as well – the Nightingale points out that the Owl is “loÞ al feulkunne” – “loathed by all fowlkind” = “hated by all birds”, “laidly to behold and loathly in many ways”.
We have a nesting pair in our backyard, and just like the Owl in the poem they are entertaining when they sing at night.
