I'm not authorised to mention the name of the bishop but I'm not familiar with him. Announcement should come before long.  
Not familiar?  Hmm.  That's odd given it would seem that whatever bishop Father Collins, a sedevacantist and one of "The Nine", would have requested would be a bishop with whom we all would be familiar.  In fact, it would be much more likely that he would have requested Bishop Dolan, also a sedevacantist and one of his fellow Nine.

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.

I just realized I misstated the funeral information. Here is what the email from yesterday said:

Quote
Services are scheduled for 7 – 8 May, with Vespers of the Dead and the wake/viewing the evening of the 7th (something like 4-8pm) and Matins/Lauds and Mass on the 8th, starting at about 10am. We will have several priests in town, so I would also like to line up a joyful Sung Mass for the Solemnity of St. Joseph before the funeral service, probably around 8 or 830 am. We’ll likely sing the Byrd Mass for Three Voices and the propers in Gregorian. The purpose of the additional Mass would be to honor Father’s fierce devotion to his patron and his devotion to his special feast day, and to fill the day with liturgical music which was his life’s blood as a priest.

I'm not personally familiar with the bishop. From the executor's email:


Quote
Father selected five celebrants for his ceremony: Bishop Neville and Frs. Ringrose, McMahon, Ahern, and Zapp.

But was Fr. Collins in the camp (with Bishop Kelly) who consider the Thuc line invalid?  If so, he wouldn't want +Dolan.

I haven't followed NINE politics in many years.

Here are some Bishops tied to the NINE:  Kelly (consecrated Santay), Sanborn (indirect offshoot = Neville), Dolan.  There are other Thuc bishops floating around, but I didn't know the NINE worked with them at all.  It will be interesting to see who this is.

No, Father Collins considered the Thuc line valid.  So, he most certainly would want Bishop Dolan.

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.
 
Was the priest "on the scene" Father McMahon, the priest that lived with him at the rectory and took on his priestly duties at St Michael's Chapel?
