From Cleric To Relic

Recommended Posts

Archbishop John Wilson writes:
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that Archbishop Peter Smith, our beloved Archbishop Emeritus, died peacefully just before midnight yesterday, Friday 6 March 2020, at the Royal Marsden Hospital, Chelsea.

Archbishop Peter's illness progressed very quickly following his diagnosis of cancer just a few weeks ago. He was a much loved brother, uncle, and friend; a priest of the Archdiocese of Southwark, Rector of St John's Seminary, Wonersh, Bishop of East Anglia, Archbishop of Cardiff and Archbishop of Southwark until his retirement in July 2019. While Archbishop of Southwark, he also served from 2014-2015 as Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.

In a ministry that spanned almost fifty years, Archbishop Peter made an outstanding contribution to the Catholic Church across three dioceses, and nationally through his service on the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales.

He is also larger than a stampeding elephant; doesn't mean you step in front of one.

For those wondering if he’d get a QO, he has. I thought he might considering he appeared on a few best sellers list, so probably a good thing to keep an eye on for the future...

Wikipedia tells me that Prahlad Jani, notable breatharian, has died at 90:

A breatharian is someone who believes that you can live without food and water, as he claims to have done so for decades.
