Cardinal Egan Is On For Easter Week Services

Edward Cardinal Egan, who was hospitalized for a few days after suffering stomach pains, is apparently feeling much better: He is planning on celebrating Holy Thursday mass today, as well as Good Friday masses and Easter Sunday masses, at St. Patrick's Cathedral. Egan is retiring next week, and Archbishop Timothy Dolan is being installed as his replacement on April 15. The NY Archdiocese also commented about Egan's need for a pacemaker: "Also still to be determined is the date for the implant of a pacemaker. Because this is not an emergency situation, the doctors have allowed for some flexibility in the scheduling of the procedure."

Spirit of 76 has not signed in for quite a bit.

Who are you referring to?

If you are referring to me, my mother-in-law's cousin is the archbishop of Poland. And he is as gay as the other individuals involved with that scam called the Catholic church.

There are lot of children that believe in the Easter

Bunny and Santa Claus. No difference.

"Edward Cardinal Egan, .. was hospitalized for a few days after suffering stomach pains"

That's what you get when you swallow TOO MUCH altarboy jizz.

For what it's worth, there are no Masses on Good Friday. He'll preside, if he's well enough, at the Good Friday liturgy. (...And that's one to grow on.)
