Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman asked the county coroner to examine the body of Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua last week because the timing of the 88-year-old prelate’s death struck her as “peculiar,” she said Friday.

Ferman acknowledged that she enlisted county Coroner Walter I. Hofman because the cardinal died one day after a Philadelphia judge said Bevilacqua could be called to testify at the child sex-abuse and endangerment trial of three current and former priests.

“I had the same reaction that many people had and that many people communicated with me,” Ferman told reporters at a news conference in Norristown. “It struck many of us as odd, as peculiar, that the cardinal passed away so suddenly after the court ruling. . . . I just thought that someone should make sure that nothing happened that was inappropriate.”

Shortly before he died, SNAP released a statement questioning the Bishops illness. Saying he was faking to get out of testifying. I made a snaky remark about how me must have faked his death or deliberately died just to get out of testifying after the judge declared him competent. :rolleyes: I didn’t know people would actually think that or take it seriously.
 
Let the man rest in peace. It is well documented that he suffered from dementia and cancer. 😦
 
It’s a shock when an 88 year old man dies? Especially one with these types of health issues.

SNAP has a common MO where they swoop in and target the very ill in hopes of getting a quick settlement. While any person who abused children should be brought to task, this group isn’t interested in justice, just attacking the church any way possible.
 
88, suffering from cancer and dementia - AND - just receives a shock that he must testify. The Cardinal, keep in mind, was never accused of any crime. They ruled merely that he was “fit to testify” against others. How could he possibly be “fit”? Age alone should excuse him!

The anti-Catholics knew with this Cardinal’s prestigious and famous name they had a better chance to nail some priests. This disabled and dying man was mistreated by the courts and the media. His death was possibly triggered by their inhumane demands on him.

On January 31, the last night of the year, he went to bed, surely thinking, "Dear God, when will this end; when can I go home? " And mercifully, God answered his prayers.

Cardinal Bevilacqua, requiescat in pace.
