Please pray for Fr. Carota of St. Catherine's church / St. John Bosco chapel in Phoenix. He passed away at 7 AM this morning.
He was the priest who gave Fr. Terra his Last Rites. (Fr. Terra was the FSSP priest beaten a few years ago, whose associate priest was murdered.)
He also wrote the excellent http://www.traditionalcatholicpriest.com/ blog. He'd end his posts with: "We are so blessed to be traditional Catholics."

We are sad to learn the news that Father Peter Carota, a great lover and promoter of the Traditional Mass, has died following a long illness. We are sure he used his time of recollection and achieved a good death -- please pray for his soul, now in God's merciful hands under the grace of the Most Gracious Advocate.

We recall with great fondness the numerous messages of encouragement and prayer he sent to us throughout the years.

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine
et lux perpetua luceat eis, Amen

Hail Mary full of Grace,
the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are you among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our deaths, Amen.

Geremia, thank you for posting this. He was a good priest. I will keep the repose of his soul in my prayers. I still have an email he sent me once.

What did he have? Cancer?

Since we get a whopping thirty or so seconds to edit in this place, I couldn't edit my post.

I see he starved to death. That's so odd. Didn't he go to a doctor?

Fr. Carota had an excruciatingly debilitating nervous system condition, which began a few years ago. Basically, his entire nervous system kept degrading from then on. He was struggling with insomnia long before that, too. It seems he died like Pope St. Pius X: of heartbreak.

He had a simple, profound, and zealous faith and a very social, outgoing personality, like Pope St. Pius X. He was able to get all the women to dress very modestly and even segregate the faithful with women together on the Gospel/Mary side and men together on the Epistle/St. Joseph side, as was common before Vatican II, because he knew men and women pray differently and learn better from their own respective sex how to pray. His simple faith made him like a priestly version of St. Thérèse of Lisieux.

Where'd you hear that?
Starvation might have been the proximate cause of his death.

Yes, he'd been hospitalized for awhile.

Yes, it was common for women and men to sit on different sides before the VII nonsense took root. Back then, no one was obsessed with this "as a family" stuff because intact families weren't an oddity. It was the norm.

I hope someone that knew him well writes his biography.

I am going to pray TO him, and for him in case he needs it which I doubt he does but we never know.

Prayers for Father.

Which country had segregation of men and women at Mass pre Vat II ?

This was never the case in Canada . Not even at school Masses.

Looking at the 1941 Mass narrated by Bishop Sheen at Our Lady of Sorrows in Chicago Ill USA it wasn't the case in the US either. ( and there wasn't a veil in sight either; hats or kerchiefs only on women).

Apparently, it was a thing in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, explained as "That's what they do here." But Fr. Carota is Mexican, and that's also a thing there. Could be a Latin America-wide thing.
