“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.”

Would you show us, please, more pictures of the “magnificent new presepio at Ss. Trinità dei Pelegrini”? I haven’t found any online, or I wouldn’t trouble you.
Merry Christmas, Father Z.

Which side to move in the chess puzzle?
Sorry, BLACK to move. Also you can usually see whose move it is by the way the board is oriented. I try always to include the square notion. This time from left to right it is H G F etc. If it were white from left to right it would be A B C etc.
I’ll get and post more photos of that presepio. It is amazing.
My take. Black has a strong Queen on that diagonal and the white King is down there. White’s Rook is undefended and black’s Rook is staring at it through that jumpy Knight. Who knows what white Queen is doing except trying to become a target and a loss of tempo.

2. Qe3 Nf4!
Nf4 is amazing because it starts a double attack on white’s Rook on d1 and threatens mate by Qg2. There isn’t much white can do at this point. If white takes the black Room on c8, then Qg2#. If white takes the Knight, then here comes the black rook. If 2. Qa3 etc., the same theme follows.
