“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.”

I used to race road bikes, and crashed so badly one time that I had to be taken to the emergency room to have the asphalt scraped out of my back–that was the painful part; I hardly felt the pain of sliding twenty feet. I’ve also spent a lot of time at Chartres; a 90 min. train ride from Paris. In the bowels of that Cathedral there are remnants of a church dating to the fourth century. Now my passion is racing really fast motorcycles, which my girlfriend has told me I have to give-up if I’m to marry her: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V8Npdmysl84
Believe me us Irish can be a little crazy!
An FSSP priests hears confessions at Chartres, and I think is the pastor of a nearby parish. I’ve run into him every time I’ve been there, so there’s a good chance it’s him. The soutane is also slowly becoming normalized again in France. I know a « communauté nouvelle » (quasi-charismatic) priest who wears his on feast days. Most clergy here under 45 would probably be happy to wear it at least on occasion, though there is still the slowly disappearing risk of being labelled an extremist for doing so, so most avoid the trouble except in rare circumstances. But you seemingly see more and more of them every year…
Well, I heard Fellay was lookin’ for a new gig. Coulda been him.
Always nice to see priests looking priestly.
