“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."

“The spirit of worldliness” is what makes this Pope so popular.
I have tried grappa on an empty stomach myself, celebrating passing a final exam early in the morning, and got drunk as a skunk. Grappa is an after dinner digestif.
exactly the way a 70 something argentine man would talk…plain and simple.
Ohh sometimes you level others, you are solemn.
It’s life
How very Italian! Grappa is the one alcoholic drink on earth that gives me pause.
I love Pope Francis’s idiomatic way!
I looked on CNA for more:
“He told the appointees to accept their new role with humility, so that “the spirit of worldliness does not creep in; the spirit that stuns more than grappa on a fast, disorienting and separating one from the cross of Christ.”
In my humble opinion he reminds me of how Christ spoke. Basic down to earth talk meeting people where they are. Using catch phrases and words appropos to the culture and common people.
These are called “word pictures” and bring the words to life!
If the people do not understand…well at least it causes discussion! Similar to Jesus!
I had no idea what grappa was until now!
Just another of his little quips that no one likes!
I may be alone in this but I love that stuff…especially from a Pope.
Shows he is human and unimpressed with himself.
Sometimes Catholics come across as unapproachable often due to lofty speech and ego.
This Pope, I believe, helps bridge the gap.
“Grappa. So much more than just a great breakfast drink.”
Fr. Z,
May I give you a star? I’ll be laughing for the rest of the day and likely tomorrow too!
ROFL
Grappa. Vile stuff. The Pope knows whereof he speaks.
