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.
What did he have? Cancer?
I see he starved to death.
That's so odd. Didn't he go to a doctor?
Quote from: AlexandriaI see he starved to death.Where'd you hear that?Starvation might have been the proximate cause of his death.Quote from: AlexandriaThat's so odd. Didn't he go to a doctor?Yes, he'd been hospitalized for awhile.
Quote from: AlexandriaWhat did he have? Cancer? 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.
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).
