Why I love Father Z.

I have been following What Does the Prayer Really Say for several years.  I started before I knew anything about traditional Catholicism, and mostly out of a love for the Faith, and to gain some insight to be used for apologetics.  Why did I start following him?  Lines like these:

[concerning the young man who refused to wrestle a girl at a state tournement]:
"Inter-sex wrestling should only be private and after the marriage is witnessed by the Church."

[concerning a priest who answered a cell phone during Mass]:
"If you have feather pillows, place them on a horse drawn cart.   Then, carefully lifting the pot of tar onto the back of the cart, light your torches and heft your pitchforks.

But seriously… we don’t know the reason for the call.  Perhaps he was waiting to hear if he had won the lottery, or had perhaps been chosen to appear on American Idol.  Perhaps he was waiting for notice about an indictment or a stock deal.   It might have been really important!"

"Also, pray to the priest’s guardian angel to brick his phone if he ever does it again.
After that, perhaps you could have a little project with your kids.  Make signs with those NO PHONES symbols on them to hold up during Mass.

Then sit in the front pew.

Just kidding."

Those were what drew me in.  Along the way I learned a great deal about theology, especially how the prayers of Holy Mass are theologicall dense, and are supposed to help us focus on our Faith, as well as history, art, music, and the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
