themaninblack 2,112 Posted December 12, 2007 Archbishop Christodoulos is now in a critical condition, his kidneys have started to malfunction “He has clarity of thought but his condition is serious. He has trouble breathing due to the pain relief patches,” said a spokesman for the Holy Synod. I don't think he's going to see 2008. Oh don't say that. Not when he's so close, he's gonna be my Joker... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted December 13, 2007 Getting off the topic of 'Christodolous' for just a minute I figured that I would mention the health of Pope Shenouda who's story has gone from 'kidney stones' to now 'kidney failure' O and Rt Rev Ian Cundy is now finally about to start his first round of chemotherapy after being diagnosed with a rare form of lung cancer back in November. http://www.northantset.co.uk/news/Bishop-t...rapy.3573731.jp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted December 17, 2007 The tables have turned at some degree. Patriarch Pavle the head of the Serbian Orthodox church has demonstrated serious deterioration and is being treated at the Belgrade Military Hospital. http://www.pr-inside.com/serb-patriarch-pa...tor-r351873.htm Archbishop Christodoulos just might live to see New Years as he has received chemotherapy. The source reads 'condition has improved' but I still doubt he will see February. http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_artic...5/12/2007_91200 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ah, I was raised Ukrainian Orthodox, so I suppose I made that reference without clearing it up. But yes, The Miser is correct, that's why I meant that it was a good sign - January 7.

Phantom 2,533 Posted January 3, 2008 Christodouos ‘upbeat,’ visitors say, well enough to resume treatment Archbishop Christodoulos received visitors on Monday and listened to seasonal carols with apparent good cheer and stoicism that attracted widespread praise. Visitors included Thessaloniki Prefect Panayiotis Psomiadis who sang carols before the archbishop with a visiting delegation of Black Sea Greeks. Psomiadis also gave Christodoulos a religious icon. Christodoulos, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year, pondered death – “This is the fate of all mortals” – and stressed the importance of accuracy in historical accounts. Later, the archbishop, whose condition is said to have improved over the past few days, was deemed fit enough to undergo chemotherapy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
