Excommunicated: Fathers Cekada, Dolan, Jenkins, Kelly and Sanborn ?

    • “On Sunday night, May 20, when the Archbishop arrived back at the seminary at a late hour from Kansas, somewhat tired and travel-weary, no sooner had he stepped out of the car than he was served with a civil court summons in a suit to evict the Society from the seminary property here in Connecticut, a suit fled by Fathers Cekada, Dolan, Jenkins, Kelly and Sanborn.
    Those standing by noticed and will not easily forget the look of pain on the face of the Archbishop, who it must be remembered was their Father in the priesthood. Now according to the old Code of Canon Law, anyone citing a Catholic bishop before a civil judge incurs automatic excommunication (canon 2341).Hence, according to the only Code of Canon Law which they themselves recognize, these five priests are excommunicated.”

    —Bishop Williamson, Letters from the Rector - Volume 1: The Ridgefield Letters, June 5, 1984.

    • So did the court case happen?  I assume the sspx won, since they still own the property.
