Canadian Paul 97 Posted December 12, 2008 Avery Cardinal Dulles is much duller now. Fairly well known if you happen to be an American Catholic whose really into the faith (or a well-researched deadpooler I suppose). Otherwise, not so much, but I feel like he was picked somewhere by someone, so I figured it warranted a mention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted January 6, 2009 None of you has any news about cardinals or bishops seriously ill? Not today, do you? No, I don't!that's why I asked Dear Guest, Please be assured that if there are ever any high or even medium profile clerics who are not enjoying the best of health, then I will make every effort to advise you of their predicament via this thread. I'm not sure if it's just bishops and cardinals who float your boat, or if your interest extends to Eastern Orthodoxy - in which case you may be interested to know that the Patriarch Mesrob II, Mutafyan of Constantinople (He's with the Armenian Church), is suffering from serious health problems: http://www.mirrorspectator.com/2008/06/10/...-suspends-work/ I wouldn't count on him getting a UK obit, though. I hope that helps DDT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
