Life
Zuhlsdorf was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in 1959. As a young man he studied at the University of Minnesota. Formerly a Lutheran, He says his conversion to Catholicism was set into motion after hearing a piece of sacred polyphony on the radio. He felt called to serve as a priest and eventually was ordained a priest in Rome by Pope John Paul II on May 26, 1991.
Later, Zuhlsdorf became a weekly columnist for the Traditionalist 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 posts photographs of Chinese and Italian food, and 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 Zuhlsdorf's site as one of the top ten Christian blogs in the world.
Zuhlsdorf works as president of the Tridentine Mass Society of Madison, Wisconsin.
