“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."

I received word today that Fr. Jonathan Robinson of the Toronto Oratory passed away this morning. It seems that he had a fall on St. Philip’s Day (26 May) and had been in the hospital.

I had several lengthy conversations with Fr Robinson in the late 90s and spent some most edifying days at the Oratory. He was always a scholar and gentleman, and a true vir ecclesiasticus. The Oratory is a rare and shining jewel in Canadian Catholicism, which so often is drab and mediocre and depressing.
Permit me to add to your list of books by recommending his *On the Lord’s Appearing* from CUA Press. I read it when it first came out in 1997 and have often gone back to it, recommending it to students as well. May his memory be eternal!
Just bought both!

I have been praying for him during Ordinariate morning and evening prayer (at prayer.covert.org )
We met Fr. Robinson during Oratory Summer School, a wonderful program held each summer for laypeople to learn about the faith. All the Oratory priests taught at least one class.
I did read.”The Mass and Modernity” which is dedicated to an old friend of mine. I remember it was a long slog through modernity before it got to the mass!
The Toronto Oratory will not be the same without him. I hope they carry on as they have been, as they are an island of holiness and devotion-and intelligence and reason, in the surrounding community and, as someone else said, in Canada.
