“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."

Google translate offers a stunningly bad result:
‘Sign signals: random touch me and Angie:
Rome motions of a sudden you will go for love. ‘
Was it Attila’s threat “Te tero Roma, manu nuda, date tela, late te!” that prompted St Pope Leo to go out and speak to him? (this was presented to me as tete roro mama nunu dada tete lala te in college Latin as a conundrum. That’s when we learned dato datare alongside do dare))
Happy Martinmas!
É dia de São Martinho;
comem-se castanhas,
prova-se o vinho.
[It is Saint Martin’s Day,
we’ll eat chestnuts,
we’ll taste the wine.]
The Fisheaters website (http://www.fisheaters.com/customstimeafterpentecost15.html) is a tad more helpful than Google Translate for those of us with only a little Latin: “Cross, cross thyself, you plague and vex me without need / For by my labors you shall soon reach Rome, the object of your wishes.”

An odd tangent: in reading Northwest European Martinmas begging songs (which can include cursing the ungenerous), I encountered this (which I translate from dialect):
Kip kap kugel [ultimately from “cappa” and “cucullus” – I am not sure about the ‘kip’ ],
My mum is a devil,
My father is a satan,
There’s who I’m the child of.
While I’m being tangential… In some places the folk celebration was on the vigil (as also with St. Nicholas), with a proecssion on Martinmas. In some German usage, this was as it were ‘kidnapped’ by replacing St. Martin songs with ones celebrating Martin Luther (who was born on 10 November – whence ‘Martin’?). Some songs (presumably sung on Martinmas) note (I translate), “Today is St. Martin, tomorrow is St. See [i.e., Pope St. Martin]”.
