    From Cleric To Relic

    James Moriarty, the auxiliary Bishop of Dublin from 1991 to 2002 and the Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin from 2002 to 2010, has died. He was 85. His death has been recorded at the Catholic Hierarchy website. (From this, we can deduce his passing is certain. It's elementary, my dear Watson.) https://www.catholic-hierarchy.org/bishop/bmoriarty.html

    Alt Obituaries Deadpool

    Not official yet, as I submitted a foreign language obituary (from Yahoo!) that may, or may not, be acceptable. However, I had Budi Tek. Have played him since 2019. Survived six years with end-stage pancreatic cancer. Edit: The Yahoo! obit was a no-go. CNN published one March 21st that has now been submitted.
