Perhaps you are right. Wouldn't want to put a damper on the canonization of St. Cekada, patron saint of the sedes and their supporters.

Praying for his soul is a good a very good thing to do. That doesn't mean that he hasn't led souls into serious error.
It just seems like the wrong time to jump on that.  We needn't canonize him.  A simple "i'll pray for his soul" would make sense.

That said I did take note of one comment that said Fr. Cekada himself would've appreciated the dark humor.  If that's true, per those who know him, than that's fair enough

R.I.P, good father, for giving us guidance on the evils of the NO mass.

No he has died PER Twitter, i.e. based on information someone found from a reliable source (Bishop Dolan) on Twitter.
May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace. Amen.

Although I firmly believe Fr. Cekada was in error on many (not all) issues, it is because one of the posts in this thread confirmed that "he died well fortified by the Sacraments of the Church", which certainly must mean that he received the sacrament of Extreme Unction before he died, and it is on this account that I believe, and I think per the Church that we can now all believe that he escaped hell and died as one of the faithful departed, thanks to that sacrament.

Just pray daily for his soul.

Thank you for your charitable response. I appreciate that.

It might be a the wrong time to jump on this.....IF.... it weren't for the fact that Fr. Cekada was a dogmatic sedevacantist, which is opposed to the view of the Resistance.

Here's another way to put it. If a Modernist priest in the conciliar church were to die, would he receive the same positive reaction as has been done here? Because dogmatic sedevacantism is just the other side of the coin from modernism. Modernism and dogmatic sedevacantism are two sides of the same coin. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't pray for him (and I would never ever say that we shouldn't). I do pray for the souls in purgatory, and I know how important it is to do so. But one must be realistic.

And I'm fairly certain that Fr. Cekada was banned from this forum. He wasn't all that charitable when pushing his views on dogmatic sedevacantism.
