    How long was Father a Traditional priest?

    Father Carley in Akron appears to be one of the last independent priests ordained before Vatican II left out there.  90 years old, and still offering daily Mass ... where you could set your watch by the ringing of the bell outside the sacristy.  I had the great blessing to be able to assist there this morning.  In the early 1970s, he was with then-Father McKenna in Connecticut before eventually making his way to Ohio and West Virginia.
