“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.”

Did you notice that two of the priests highlighted are in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Of course, The likes of Nancy Pelosi get more publicity.
A quick tally of Bay Area Masses in the Extraordinary Form–
Weekday — 5 churches
Sunday — 9 churches
Other — 7 churches (once a month, once a week etc.)
(Source: TLM Society of San Francisco bulletin listings.
Not to mention Masses celebrated on a priest’s own time.
I read Fr. Carota, like this blog, every day: http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/
Have been much edified there as here.
The TLM at St. Martin’s is amazing; I miss the Mass and the people @_@
I’ll give a “here – here” for Joseph-Mary above.
father Carota has a seriously great blog, and I also check it daily.
This should be standard reading, along with this blog to check daily.

I personally know of two past instances of the Vatican intervening effectively on behalf of “stable groups of the faithful” whose requests for the EF Mass were going unmet. However, I wonder if the Vatican is still intervening in this way, either to protect the EF rights of priests or of the faithful. Some recently ordained priests are waiting to see if things have changed at the PCED in the past year before they venture into EF land. I advise them to maintain this prudence until we know if SP still has teeth.
“I note the absence of Fr. Z, but, hey! There’s time.”
I’ve heard of him. He’s supposed to be a pretty okay guy. One day I might even send him a few bob* towards his expenses (or even his occasional enjoyments) once my current fun with banking is resolved. Meanwhile, I try to remember him in my prayers.
*British slang for “shilling”.
Reconverted Idiot,
Please permit a bit of trivia: which was the last nation to use the penny-shilling-pound system? Hint–their patron saint is Saint Patrick.
Ooh, I never knew that JBS. Thanks.
Shilling even I didn’t really use, it was 5 new pence by the time I was a-spending. But we still had “bob-a-job” and parents who spoke in ‘old money’, so I often found myself in possession of two-bob pocket money (well, not that often now I think of it… we were so poor…. shoe-box….etc).
