“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.”

How can we destroy the Church of Nice? Sorry, is that too divisive? I hope I didn’t offend anyone. (Well, not actually.)
How can we not? We do not have to embrace the Pharisees, so nice to everyone is not a requirement. Truth, on the other hand, is essential. Letting someone persist in their erroneous views of what the faith is is not an act of love.
Great vortex! How do I get one of those “professional Catholic” jobs?
Michael is spot on as always!
Absolutely brilliant!
Actually, Fr. Ray Blake who is the Parish Priest of St. Mary Magdalene’s in Brighton, has a very similar theme for his latest posting. He talks about The Taoiseach (Prime Minister) of Ireland, Mr “End-a Life” Kenny who is pushing abortion in Ireland, not being denied Holy Communion by the likes of Cardinal Brady, the Primate of Ireland, because that would be too judgmental and the former Prime Minister of Britain, Mr Tony Blair, being received into the Church by Cardinal Cormac O’Connor without any apparent sorrow of sin, which would also be a judgmental requirement!
