John Todd Zuhlsdorf (b. October 28, 1959) is an American Catholic priest of the Diocese of Velletri-Segni[1] and a well-known Catholic Internet personality, often known as "Father Z." He is a weekly columnist for the Catholic newspaper The Wanderer,[2] and has appeared on EWTN and the Fox News Channel. He is best known for his blog What Does the Prayer Really Say?, in which he advocates for reverent celebration of both the Ordinary Form and the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite liturgy of the Mass and the revival of the much neglected sacrament, Confession and 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.[3] A convert from Lutheranism, he was ordained in 1991 by Pope John Paul II.
