Even though he terminated one of my comments with extreme prejudice in his combox, your humble Blog Goliard is becoming a fan of Fr. John Zuhlsdorf, aka “Fr. Z”.

Fr. Z now has a column in the Catholic Herald, the premier Catholic newspaper in the United Kingdom. There is a nifty feature available to bloggers, such as yours truly, who have digital subscriptions to the paper, whereby we can post clippings on our own blogs. Here is Fr.

Any of your humble Blog Goliard’s several readers who might have an interest in this fine publication will wish to know that there is a special offer being extended in the month of March. When using the promo code “CHPROMO”, a digital subscription to the Catholic Herald costs only £10 right now, for a whole year. (When paying by credit card and bypassing PayPal’s conversion service, this came out to just $15.94 for me, as Capital One is the least evil card provider by far when it comes to international transactions.) For more information, see Fr. Z’s link and instructions.
