“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.”

Love it! Fr Z/WDTPRS-ers, are there any child-sized shirts available? I couldn’t find any, but that may be just be me. My son just turned one, and I’d love to get him a “Say the Black” or “Save the Liturgy” shirt. He loves Gregorian chant & from the time he was able to kick in the womb gets restless and cranky during, ahem, less than orthodox liturgies, so they’d be perfect for him. Plus, who knows…baby shirts can be great conversation starters.
I think someone should name a high-class colt “Say The Black” and a high-class filly “Do The Red” around the same time. Then the filly could win the Kentucky Oaks and the following day the colt could win the Kentucky Derby. This would help the cause of good liturgy immensely via good publicity. It is hard to imagine that the angels would not be able to help these two horses to cross the finish line first.
I would volunteer, but I am not in a position to own racehorses. Meanwhile, I guess we will have to make do with refrigerator magnets and coffee mugs.
Andrew: That was an exceptionally good idea.
Sometimes, I think you need a “like” button, Fr. Z.
Liz: I don’t care if people “like” what I do or not.
But when it comes down to it, I’ll bet most people do “like” it!
“Someone should name a high-class colt ‘Say the Black’ and a high-class filly ‘Do the Red’ around the same time.”
And after their racing careers are over, of course, they will have a colt together, and what should he be named? “Extraordinary Form”? “Lex Orandi”?
“But when it comes down to it, I’ll bet most people do “like” it!”
I sure do! Keep doing your thing, Fr. Z!
Love this! And at the seminary, too!
Andrew-I like your horse-racing thought as well! ‘Say the Black, Do the Red’…very cool!
