A little girl gave me a prayer card of his after Mass a few Sundays ago. I pass this on for everyone's edification:

www.maryknollmagazine.org/2020/01/francis-x-ford-servant-of-god/

Maryknoll Magazine wouldn't normally be a source I'd look to, but this might actually be a cause we could all agree on. Bishop Ford's story far predates the present situation in the Church.

"...respect must everywhere be shown for the feelings of all those who are attached to the Latin liturgical tradition, by a wide and generous application of the directives already issued some time ago by the Apostolic See for the use of the Roman Missal according to the typical edition of 1962." --- Pope St John Paul II, Ecclesia Dei, 1988

I shall pray that Servant of God Francis Xavier Ford be canonised and his name inscribed in the Roman Martyrology. I shall pray fervently for his cause over the entire Octave of Our Lord's Nativity. I fear that his cause is unlikely to progress.
