Like I'm not saying the debate needs to stop everywhere or anything, but to specifically promote a book that is particularly targeting Fr. Cekada on a thread talking about how he's dying seems... yeah classless is the right word.

When John Vennari was dying, there were a few autistic comments.  It was edifying to see the triviliazing and critical posts get down-thumbed into oblivion.  Matthew's post certainly was not as bad as some of the comments John got.  But I agree that it was classless.  I am sure that when Matthew is dying, he will hope that everyone who knows about it is more concerned with his soul than the financial prospects of registering the cathinfo.com domain.  Even if such comments are made in jest.

I am someone who has been very critical of some of Fr. Cekada's ideas in the past.  At the moment, I feel very close to ashamed for that because I realized last night when praying the litany of the dying for him, that I do not think I had ever prayed for him before.  Now's the time.

What are "autistic comments"?

I am not SV, but neither can I say with certitude that SV is wrong.  I have my doubts, and the SV arguments make sense to me (a lot of them, anyway), but after much reflection, I simply cannot go sedevacantist.  I will just say, that in the end, I won't be surprised to learn that the SVs were right.  Neither will I be surprised to learn that they were wrong.  Or it could be a "not completely full, but not completely vacant" scenario.  It's all way above my pay grade.

With all due respect to our good moderator, this isn't the time.  And quite aside from issues of propriety, why would the CDs become worthless once Fr Cekada has passed away?

Comments made with an apparent and all but complete obliviousness to what basic social decorum calls for.  Comments that are so beyond what anyone would normally expect in the situation that the only charitable explanation seems to be a true inability to comprehend the basic conventions of civility and decency (i.e., autism).

I have fond memories of Fr. Cekada's sense of humour.  I think he would have taken Matthew's comment as dark humour, rather than as classless, and been amused by it.  

Father's book, Work of Human Hands was a great contribution to scholarship that SVs and non-SVs can both appreciate.  Even some NO supporters praised it.  Fr. Cekada also did a video series based on the book which made the information accessible to a wider audience.  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZygRnwBVymnpSzePpCJdZA

It is certainly a time to focus on praying for him rather than arguing.  :pray:
