"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.”

I’ve known of a number of places where re-introducing the EF Mass was a success; I haven’t heard of one where nobody came. Keep up the good work, Bill & Fr. Hagen, and take heart, all you other Bills & Fr. Hagens out there!
I live in St. Louis, and know some of the people involved in arranging this Mass. It is a Missa Cantata, and they are even receiving assistance from seminarians in order to coordinate everything! For reference though, the priest is actually Fr. Raymond Hager, with an r.

Too bad it’s the same day that Michael Voris is speaking at a day-long conference at one of our local Ukrainian Catholic parishes. http://www.churchmilitant.tv/speakingengagements/
Speaking as someone with family around O’Fallon…this is fantastic news. When I go back to see family, I invariably go to St. Francis de Sales Oratory; but it has long been painfully clear that there was a crying need for a regular TLM at the northern end of the archdiocese.

Let us pray that other pastors in St. Louis follow Fr. Hager’s courageous example – and that other laity follow the example of the Latin Liturgy Association. Ride the bike.
I’m grateful that Fr. Z gave us the resource links in the above article.

The materials there are some of the most clear and helpful I have found on the Latin Mass!
