« on: March 19, 2023, 09:18:44 AM »
It was announced at Mass this morning that Fr. Christopher Darby (SSPX) died suddenly of a heart attack yesterday.

Born September 13, 1958, he was ordained a priest in Winona by +de Mallerais in 2000.

His ordination and vocation story was mentioned in the seminary Verbum newsletter (Summer - 2000):

That’s sad to hear. :pray: Around 20 years ago I went on retreat in Ridgefield and Father Darby was there, he was a wonderful priest. I told him I held the sedevacantist position and he said that he was going to play an audio recording the next day showing how Archbishop Lefebvre was supportive of that position. While listening to the tape, I wrote down the source from which the recording was made. It was from the July 1986 Angelus. When I got home I ordered every copy that was in the Angelus archive. I promptly posted it on John Lane’s Bellarmine forum.

Ah, he was only 10 years older than I am, so about 64/65.  But he was ordained 5 years after I would have been ... had I stayed there.  He was 42 at his ordination in 2000.
