“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.”

Right now my car has a Jesus fish, in which the silver exterior of the fish fell off (immediately), but left a pretty fish outline, which I rather like.
I also have a new bumper sticker that I fear to attach, because I have had stickers that I don’t think I could have nuked off, and now I have “sticker fear”. But it says:
“Gun control means use two hands”.
But, may I be a fly in the ointment, just for a moment? [Nope! o{]:¬) ]
I would suggest a more clear bumper sticker. I would not know what the Latin means, I admit ignorance. So that would fly over even my head, and I consider myself a Catholic who loves her church. So the Latin would only be understood by insiders. Perhaps, preaching to the choir.
Save the Liturgy could mean alot of things. Again, I would have no idea on which side of the fence the driver is, radically change it in a “liberal” direction? I wouldn’t know.
It’s real hard to make a point on a bumper sticker, so little space, so much to say. How to condense it to a pithy point that others can see and comprehend while hurtling around in a 2000 pound vehicle at speeds up to 80 mph. But most of them probably get read at stop lights. Still, if you’re going to have one, make it count. My favorite used to be “Visualize Whirled Peas” on the old “Visualize World Peace” bumper sticker theme.
Communication is my field, for what it’s worth.
Most of the 600+ folks in my iPhone directory know that I am fluent in Latin. I get emails, texts and calls quite often: “Do you know what -Tempus Fugit-, -Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam-, Beati Qui Ambulant-….” etc. etc. I KNOW I am not the only Latin-Head around. The Latin makes folks curious. This is good. It can inspire teaching moments. This is great! Homines mysterium amant. Keep that Latin coming!
