“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.”

And it is not April 1 as you post this.
I have an idea for his successor: His name is John, he is a priest, and runs a successful blog on the internet. He is very dedicated to the traditional liturgy, and has some very strong, but logical opinions. I think he would be a great head of the PCED subdivision of the CDF. You might know him.
Even I have heard au fond de mon trou good things about Monseigneur Descourtieux — IIRC he is a very orthodox and clever (and even Marian) theologian.
That’s my third good news today —
1) our PP (or possibly our Bishop) has instituted Liturgical colour Rose for this Laetare Sunday
2) my thigh seems finally to be basically healed (no pain at Mass, even though standing still is my generally most difficult position to endure), so that I’ll finally be able to get back onto my foot pilgrimage to Fatima, Compostela, and Lourdes towards 9th/10th April
3) Monseigneur Descourtieux !!! Ad Laudem
Praying for full regularization of the SSPX
How’d he sneak through?
[Your relentless negativity in my combox wearies me.]
Thanks for the positive news, Fr. Z. It is relieving.
