Does anyone have access to the original source for this quote? I see it copied and pasted a lot but I've never seen the original source. I tried googling for it, but came up emptyhanded (except for other places where the quote is provided by itself).
The SSPV, The Roman Catholic, Fall 2003, p. 7: “With the strict, literal interpretation of this doctrine, however, I must take issue, for if I read and understand the strict interpreters correctly, nowhere is allowance made for invincible ignorance, conscience, or good faith on the part of those who are not actual or formal members of the Church at the moment of death. It is inconceivable to me that, of all the billions of non-Catholics who have died in the past nineteen and one-half centuries, none of them were in good faith in this matter and, if they were, I simply refuse to believe that hell is their eternal destiny.”This article/quote is reproduced on MHFM:

The Roman Catholic, SSPV, Fall 2003 issue) was apparently written by Fr Fenton,
not Fr Cekada. In addition, Fr Cekada left the SSPV in 1989, so he couldn't have possibly written this article for the SSPV in 2003. I knew something was off about this accusation.
Granted, I am sure that some would still disagree with Fr Cekada's true position on BOD, but he NEVER said/wrote what has been attributed to him.
It's time to set the record straight.
