Not only is he a sedevacantist--he even left the SSPX

He was expelled from the SSPX, along with 8 others, in the 80's.

which "ordained" him,

Interesting that you place the word "oradined" in quotes, as if you wish to cast doubt on his ordination. Make no mistake, he's very much a real priest, and disagreeing with him on a hot-button issue is not a good reason to be blatantly uncharitable to him.

He's also an idiot.

Like that.

He participated in a schism led by Father Clarence Kelly in 1983 where they formed the Society of St. Pius V, which considers the Society of St. Pius X to be too liberal. The SSPV didn't approve of the SSPX's use of John XXIII's 1962 Missal and their attempt to reach a compromise with John Paul II. About five years later, Cekada and some other SSPV priests led by Father Daniel Dolan broke away in another schism from the SSPV and they're now in communion with the sedevacantist Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen. Both Kelly and Dolan have been illicitly ordained bishops in subsequent years and Kelly 's SSPV has denounced the removal of Schiavo's feeding tube.

OK. Fair criticism.

I retract the quotation marks surrounding 'ordained.'

I retain the "He's an idiot," however, based on the irrefutable evidence he provided in his little monograph.

BTW, I was present at his First Mass...
