I am grateful for your continuing support.
During the contest, I was glad to get to know the blog Roman Catholic Spiritual Direction.
I am also impressed at the fact that the readers over there use their social media sharing buttons to great effect! Perhaps you readers here might… how to put it… take a hint?
The other blogs in our category are already, I am sure, known to you.

Certainly well deserved!
Congratulations!
I am so sorry, Father, but I detest the social media, and am not a part of it. If I were I would use the buttons, I swear!
Congratulations, Fr. Z.! We knew it all along. (btw, I don’t use the tweets and fb, etc., if I did I would share your posts more. But, I share them now by forwarding or recommending a visit to your place.
Congratulations! This blog is my own personal RCIA class; I’m very grateful for a sound source of orthodox teaching. Many thanks!
Congratulations, Father!!! I agree with Wanda. We knew it all along
I’m sorry–I don’t so social media either. I just pass things on the old fashoned way.
Congratulations!
“Tibi gratulationes facio” . . . . I hope that is correct. Just a novice. ;-)
Congratulations! Well deserved. In fact my 3 home pages are wdtprs; rc spiritual direction and the hermeneutic of continuity!
Congratulations. Like Secretariat, you led out of the starting gate for the entire mile and a quarter, and won going away by six lengths.
Yeah! I knew it! How could it be otherwise.
God Bless you, Father. Ad Multis anos.
(Correct Latin?)
Great news!
Congrats!
AHHHHH!!!!
Did you watch the music video dedicated to you at “Catholic and Enjoying it”?

I was in hysterics.
Centristian: Does he still have a blog?
Oh! YES! Right… ehem…
Ha!!! I love it when Christians are evil to each other. ;^)
Playfully speaking, of course.
The great Vincenzo, posted this:
Do buy his Pius Clocks! I have one and I love it!
Yo, Adrienne…I’m waiting for Pope John XXIV to be elected so I can order his military time clock.
Thank you, Father, for continuing to provide the best Catholic blog both in content and just as important, tone.
You remain in my prayers.
@Centristian
I’m going to go out on a limb and speculate that we won’t live to see the following names used by Popes again in our lifetimes:
Pius — that would be seen as painting him into a traditionalist corner
John — that would be seen as painting him into a “Spirit of Vatican II” corner
John Paul — why invite unfavorable comparisons with this popular Pope?
@ContraMundum:
“John Paul — why invite unfavorable comparisons with this popular Pope?”
And also it was cute to hear him say, in his Slavic accent, “John Paul 2…he loves you!” Let’s face it, “John Paul 3…he loveth Thee,” just hasn’t got the same cuteness factor about it all.
It won’t be Gregory XVII, that’s too…Palmarian. Clement XV? Too calm. How about Leo XIV? Well, you definitely can’t make a clock out of it, but it sounds kind of cool. I still think it’s funny that we had a Pope Mark. But only one. Like the popes that followed him all said, “Mark II? Nnnnnnnnnn….no; that’s just…no…that makes me sound like a Lincoln coupe. I’m sticking with Innocent.”
It certainly deserves it.
Kudos!
Congrats Father! And thank you for having this blog to teach us and guide us and look out for the well being of our souls. May God Blessings be with you!
Congratulations, Father!
Congrats, Father Z!
Hey Vincenzo! Love your “Rocky” pic! Perfect!
I don’t ‘do’ Facebook or Twitter, either. Afraid I’d get someone on there who will end up stalking me….like my twin sister, who told me she had a Facebook account. No thanks!
I sure do hope people will use those buttons. It really helps with traffic.
Good for you, Fr. Z!!
Congratulations Fr. Z.!!! Though I have to admit to visiting some of the other sites too…
Congratulations!
Maybe we need a poll about who uses social media and which one(s)?
yes, how about a poll on who uses social media? that would give you some idea how many of your readers are using FB, Twitter, etc.
