“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.”

Rxe3 attacks the queen and sets up a several opportunities for white. If black tries to move the queen, then d7 is coming. My take:
1. Rxe3 Qxe7
2. Rxe7 . . .
Black doesn’t have any great moves in that position. b6 would allow axb6 and create another passed pawn. A king or pawn move would not accomplish anything.
2. . . . Rc7
3. d8 (-> queen) Rxe7
4. Qxe7
2. . . . Rc7
3. Re8+ Kh7
4. d8 (-> queen)
2. . . . Rd8
3. Re8+ Rxe8
4. dxe8+ (-> queen)
I came up with:
1. Pd7 Qxe7
2. Pxc8 (promoting to Queen)
White gains material advantage.
or
1. Pd7 Qxd7
2. Qxd7
1. d7 is the first move
If black responds with Rd8, then the Qxd8+
If black responds with Qd7, then the Qxd7 and the game is afoot
If black leaves the rook in place then the pawn on d7 advances and promotes while also putting black in check. At that point the King is forced to move to h7.
Too many options, including starting with Rxe3.
