I just wanted to add that plans were made without the executor's imput who was recovering after caring for Fr. Collins for his last 96 hrs. The executor, an honorable man, tried to work something out with +Dolan and Fr. Cekada seeking not to exclude anyone but got no return calls from +Dolan.
Fr. Collins had requested 4 priests and a specific bishop to do his Requiem Mass and neither +Dolan or Fr. Cekada were named.
May 7th is the funeral and on the 8th, the Solemnity of St. Joseph (to whom Fr. Collins was very devoted), there will be an early High Mass. Details will be published shortly.

Fr Cekada is the one who has told everyone that there is a problem.  Another example of his divisive and contentious personality.

Indeed.  That's why I asked.  One received the distinct impression from what Fr. Cekada wrote that the executor was practically going to haul Father Collins off for cremation without so much as a Christian burial.

Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.  He's good for that, isn't he?

Is this the reason for Father Cekada's little "temper tantrum" about the arrangements?

Could I ask which Bishop he requested?  I know that Bishops Kelly/Santay (as well as the priests aligned with them) hold +Dolan to be invalid (as a bishop).

He and +Dolan were contacted and "informed" by a priest on the scene who had no authority and who should have known Fr. Collins' request.
I'm not authorised to mention the name of the bishop but I'm not familiar with him. Announcement should come before long.
