"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.”

Yesterday, sorry I’m late, was the anniversary of the death of Michael Davies.
Loading ...
Msgr. Joseph M. Champlin was ordained in 1956 and his mindset is no different than liberal priests of today. We’re talking about a man who received an entire traditional formation in the seminary, who grew up with the TLM exclusively, who celebrated the TLM himself for at least 14 years and yet thinks there is nothing wrong with the changes derived from the Council.
This is, or should be, the thousandth eye opener about the seductive power of modernism.
I knew of the anniversary and said a prayer the other day, but didn’t think of flowers. Will bring some if I can, and hope others do/have done so.
Champlin, Martin, Buckley, Davies :
Requiescant in pace.
Thanks for this, Father. Fascinating. Good to see Martin getting in some digs.
Fun to watch now that we know the Mass of Pius V was indeed NOT abrogated.
Interesting to look back at my own intellectual evolution; there was a time when I thought Davies was a prehistoric fanatic. That was, of course, BZ (before Zuhlzdorf).
Thank you for remembering Michael Davies.
Thank you so much, Fr. Z. I have never heard of Michael Davies so am looking forward to exploring his work!
Fr. Champlin lost me when he said that there is (in the Mass of the Council) both vertical worship and horizontal worship.
Davies, Buckley, what giants! I’ll never forget first being exposed to what Davies wrote; what eye-opening material! There was even a little booklet called I believe, “Liturgical Shipwreck”. He got it just right.
Hey, I live right next to Chislehurst. In fact I shall be passing through tomorrow. I shall say a prayer for his soul as I do.
This is wonderful. Davies’s writings opened my eyes to the truth about Archbishop Lefevbre and the Novus Ordo Mass. I am a priest being threatened with severe canonical penalties for following the path of Tradition and resisting the Modernist church. So be it. Salus animarum seprema lex.
A GREAT video featuring giants of Roman Catholicism, the late, great Michael Davies and my late friend, the Rev. Dr. Malachi Martin.
I wish they were around in these turbulent days…
