“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."

I think the Arab-speaking Christians might take heart from this. They are under increasing persecution nowadays.
I get several visits to my blogs from the Middle East each week. Just in the last two days I have had visitors from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. Sometimes I get visits from Kuwait, Pakistan, and Qatar, too. That is one of the reasons I place news reports related to Christians in the region on my blogs. It lets them know that people here are aware of their plights, and trying to inform others about it as well.
I think it is a great idea . And being a member of an Eastern Rite Church I can assure you no insult will be taken. Although, middle eastern politics is full of petty jealousies etc but when it come to the Holy Father and his guidance there is a great respect.
I’m averse. I think we wouldn’t have to quibble over languages if the Holy Father only spoke in Latin.

That would work only if the rest of the world listened in Latin…
After a millennium and more of successful Arab(ic-speaking) dominance, Arabic has become the every-day (and even a literary, scholarly, etc.) language of a lot of Christians, and in that sense I can imagine this would be welcome.
Practically, how problematical might this be in terms of intelligibility (the last of the Holy Father’s remarks in his charming English which I heard, had been provided by someone with English subtitles!)?
Among one’s planning for the Feast of Sts. Nunil0 and Alodia might be calling to remembrance St. Daniel of Ceuta and Companions on 13 October.
