I wanted to do that for black folk too but the thread was taken down (smh). SC PS: Here's some non-confirmation.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,273 Posted August 13, 2018 I note that Rev. Violet Mark Lorrain Foxall, a pick in my Deathlist cup squad, has now been discharged from hospital, although she hardly looked the picture of good health in the photo provided by her Mission's Facebook page. Alas, I'm not sure her fame extends much beyond the Christian community in Mizoram, India (the Maras) who seem to regard her as some sort of deity. I doubt even the Daily Telegraph on a slow news day would give the 'last Welsh missionary in India' much coverage when she goes, but you never know. I was intrigued by this picture I found on the Mission's Facebook site, entitled 'an artist's impression of Rev Mark's plea for unity between Mara churches'. What is the message? Who are these two men either side of her bed? Do they have a problem with each other? Is this some sort of bizarre love triangle? Answers on a postcard please. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 6,996 Posted August 13, 2018 I don't know if she was 'discharged' as much as carted off from the hospital. There are some confused physicians on the third floor wondering where she went. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arrowsmith 318 Posted September 12, 2018 If anyone is interested I recently did some research and discovered there are still 21 Catholic Bishops who were in attendance at Vatican II alive today. This includes four Cardinals and one Bishop who left the church. The youngest of the 21 is 86 and the oldest is 103 and a roughly average age of 94. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
