Baltimore's Cardinal Archbishop, Cardinal William Keeler, has returned to Baltimore following a serious automobile accident in Italy. One of the Cardinal's closest priest-friends was killed in the accident when the car in which the Cardinal and two other priests were traveling was hit on the passenger side by another automobile. The surviving priest accompanied the Cardinal to Baltimore. The Archbishop suffered a broken ankle. The surviving priest suffered broken ribs. The two priests were from the HARRISBURG Diocese where Cardinal Keeler once served as the Ordinary (Bishop in charge). The word is that the Cardinal will be mandated to put no weight on the ankle for 30 days. Imagine that: a Cardinal staying put for 30 days! It may be a new 1st time for the Guiness Book! All kidding aside, let's not forget to pray for the Cardinal who celebrated his 75th birthday back in April. Wednesday, October 11, 2006
