Sir Creep 7,070 Posted March 15, 2016 Father Virgilio Elizondo, a well-known theologian, professor at the University of Notre Dame and former rector of San Fernando Cathedral, died Monday, according to several sources. The Bexar County (San Antonio) Medical Examiner’s Office verified his death late Monday night. Archdiocese of San Antonio officials did not return calls, nor did several other Catholic officials who knew Elizondo well. Widely considered the founder of U.S. Latino theology, Elizondo had been living under a cloud of suspicion after a lawsuit filed in Bexar County last May accused him of sexually abusing an unidentified boy more than 30 years ago. SC Now ruled a suicide -- gunshot wound to the head. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

YoungWillz 21,046 Posted April 4, 2016 Hmm, Ronald Mulkearns, former bishop of Ballarat and possibly a protector of the pedophilia system within the Australian church, may not be as sure a hit as I and maybe DDT believed: http://www.theaustralian.com.au/national-affairs/in-depth/royal-commission/george-pells-illness-not-as-bad-as-victims-abuse/news-story/1d2db99643c83b9a78bbe08050af73df His lawyer says he has colon cancer and maybe only months left to live. It sounded worse in Janaury when he supposedly was in palliative care. And the mastermind of it all, Cardinal Pell, definitely isn't as ill as he claims to be... Demjanjuk gambit, anyone? As stated earlier, I now believe nearly all those who are incarcerated and have 'terminal illnesses' are full of hyperbole, poi, and bullshit. I've left them off my teams and believe you've all been suckered in by people like Howard Marks and Lynne Stewart (and a couple others no need to mention). So if we have another candidate here, I've made my pre-determination on the merit of his claim. If Howard Marks dies this year of the affliction complained of, I'll buy each of you a Curly-Wulry candy bar.
