“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."

Ad Multos Annos to His Excellency! Birthday message sent.
Happy Birthday to his excellency!
I enjoy reading about Bishops who are working to restore the liturgy!
Whoa! Altar servers in traditional surplice and cassock? AND Caped??? Oh man!!!!!
I wonder how well he is received by other bishops. I wish a few of them would follow his example of following the liturgical example of the Holy Father. Surely His Excellency and other bishops talk to each other about ad orientem, the traditional Mass, etc. I know how priests can sometimes be towards each other, and hope that isn’t happening to him by other bishops.
And many thanks to Fr. Z for being so frequently supportive of Christ’s bishops.
Message sent to my Bishop. He is a wonderful Bishop and we in the Diocese of Tulsa are really blessed to have him. My Almighty God bless him with good health so that we can continue to have him as our shepherd for the rest of the 4 years we get to have him.
jbas: Most Bishops probably don’t like him and he made no friends in the USCCB when he went ad orientem. I was lucky enough to get to a Te Deum Institute for the Sacred Liturgy event in the Diocese and I heard him defend, in the most beautiful and elegant way, his use of ad orientem. We are really lucky to be under his leadership in Tulsa.
FatherZ – We do have the FSSP in Tulsa, our pastor is Fr. Angelo Van der Putten. Furthermore, we have had the FSSP in Tulsa for over 14 years, at the invitation of our Bishop.
Oh to have more such bishops. His Excellency is wonderful!
I still have the response His Excellency sent me after last year’s Mass in Washington. He was very gracious and kind!
‘Ad Multos Annos’, indeed! Wish there were more Bishops like him who favor the TLM, ‘ad orientem’ worship, and traditional communities such as the FSSP and the Benedictines of Clear Creek!
I should send him a birthday greeting-thanks for the link, Father Z, and for your support of good Bishops like His Excellency of Tulsa!
