John Zuhlsdorf Cleric
John Todd Zuhlsdorf (born October 28, 1959) is an American Catholic priest of the Diocese of Velletri-Segni. He is also a Catholic Internet personality, often known as "Father Z".Zuhlsdorf was formerly a weekly columnist for the Catholic newspaper The Wanderer, and has appeared on EWTN and the Fox News Channel. He is best known for his blog Fr. Z's Blog (previously named: What Does the Prayer Really Say?), in which he advocates for reverent celebration of both authorized forms of the Roman Rite liturgy of the Mass, the ordinary form and the extraordinary, and for revival of the sacrament of Penance. "The Staggers", the blog of the British magazine New Statesman, listed Fr. Zuhlsdorf's site as one of the top ten Christian blogs in the world.Formerly a Lutheran, Zuhlsdorf's conversion to Catholicism thirty years ago was set into motion after hearing a piece of sacred polyphony on the radio. He was ordained a priest by John Paul II'>Pope John Paul II on May 26, 1991. He is president of the Tridentine Mass Society of Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
