Then it should be no problem to retract the false attribution.  But, for some reason, it is.

There’s no one who isn’t retracting it.  We all retract it.  Future citations will be to “an article published by the SSPV”, just as we cite “an article published by the CMRI” entitled “The Salvation of those Outside the Church” — which I did look up. This is a case of a poster attributing it incorrectly and people repeating it without looking it up.  There was no malice here.  It’s even possible that Fr. Cekada quoted it in some other context that we can’t find, causing the original poster to believe it was his own.  Not sure how the mistake was made, but I doubt it was done on purpose.  Very few of us have the time to look up every single quote.  There are probably a dozen or more fake “sayings of Padre Pio” on the web that live on for the same reason.

When people cite it, it’s to demonstrate an IDEA that we contend is actually behind WHY most people end up being BoD zealots.  When you scratch beneath the surface, you almost always find that this sentiment is actually what drives it.  It’s to your credit that you’re honestly looking at this issue despite the fact that an implicit BoD would comfort you regarding your mother.  In this quote we have someone finally admitting this motivation honestly, which is why we keep referring to it.
