Re the above.....what are the realistic obit chances? I mean, 2009 looks a likely achievement before he 'does a Lou Rawles' on us.

 

Guardian covered his conviction...he is a lock for AP obit.

I know his activities were questionable, but a few days after pontificating about radio presenters 'humiliating' an old man, they then go and humilate a man of the cloth... :rolleyes:

A man of the touching cloth by the time he'd reached hospital.

Rev Andrew Greeley, 80, priest and best selling novelist, is critically ill after fracturing his skull. He got his clothes stuck in a taxi door he was exiting, it drove off before he could free himself.

I know someone who got a coat stuck in a taxi door last Christmas and she's still on crutches. They've knocked the dent out of the taxi mind, and that's as good as new.

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.

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:

I wouldn't count on him getting a UK obit, though.

 

I hope that helps
