    • Died on May 1, 2018 after a long struggle with cancer.

    Bittersweet thoughts on this anniversary.

    I thank God he gave you to us for the time that He did, and even though I never knew you in life, your teachings through your internet apostolate have heavily influenced my family, and you are now remembered in our daily Rosary.

    Fr. Cooper, pray for us who have recourse to thee!

    • I knew Fr. Cooper and work for him for short time. He was the retreat master of my first retreat and my life has changed for the better ever since. Thank you  Fr. Cooper!

    • I would like to see the veneration of Fr. Cooper spread throughout Tradition and the Church.

    I believe he is a saint.

    The first piece of evidence in support of that belief transpired after his death, when, inexplicably, all of Tradition united in praise of him, and lamented his death: The 4 bishops, SSPX, Boston, and all offered Masses and public lamentation.

    For the briefest of moments, Fr. Cooper served to unite Tradition.  

    That must have been terrifying to Rome.

    I may even begin a website in furtherance of this objective, in the hopes that the SSPX co-opt it and run with it.

    I do have to say that he was the best Confessor I ever had.

    I also saw a slightly but smaller example at the St. Mary's Kolbe Center Seminar, when parishioners from SSPX, FSSP, SAJM/Dominicans and Pfiiferite/Hewkonians all came together.
