Pope Francis asked to pray for Napolitano. https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/politica/2023/09/19/ore-dansia-per-napolitano-situazione-critica_8a51c098-9b9e-47d2-a674-12e066a0d09d.html

Still in critical conditions. He is pictured as frail as a candle light. https://www.corriere.it/politica/diretta-live/23_settembre_20/napolitano-reazioni-oggi-6fbadc12-5777-11ee-ad09-f5d0e4dba93a.shtml

Another obit: https://en.royanews.tv/news/44205/2023-09-01

On Wikipedia is reported dead according to this site: https://see.news/veteran-businessman-mohamed-al-fayed-passes-away-aged-94

Some statistics about Geraldo Majella Agnelo: Brazilian, he was created Cardinal back in 2001 by John Paul II and he was one of the last 48 Cardinals created by J P II. With his death now there are 7 Brazilian Cardinals left (6 of them are electors) He took part in both of the Papal conclave of this century (2005 and 2013).

His coat of arms:

The unbearable lightness of diyng

I notice that you have reported the death of Robin Wagner, whike thw thread it's about Robert Wagner... Wrong person.

Wow! Third hit for May 2023! It's a record along with 1996, 200 and 2019.

I think he can be on my list for 2024. Maybe even do Nascimento.

I think Biden will go after Carter...

No Vialli and no Napolitano... So sad about it.

Like I have already said, oldest living created cardinal, the last one created by Paul VI back in 1977.

Another hit form me... Another empty space for 2023!!!
