The doctor had been suffering from cancer and was receiving treatment in hospital, where he caught COVID which accelerated his demise. He has not had any contact with the Pope for a long time. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DCI Frank Burnside 400 Posted January 25 I think he'll resign once global circumstances allow. He won't willingly cause a conclave in the current climate IMO 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because they stayed in the barrio, Yorio and Jalics were kidnapped.'' Franz Jalics died on 13th February due to COVID, at 93.

Ulitzer95 2,605 Posted Saturday at 10:31 Francis meets with Ali al-Sisani (wiki), who turns 91 in August. Their news channel just referred to al-Sisani as the most prominent Shia Muslim leader in the world. Not sure if that's true or not? Yesterday BBC News said Oprah Winfrey was the richest woman in North America (she's not even close). Sistani never seems to smile, and has one of the worst cases of "resting bitch face" I've ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
