May his sould and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace and may light perpetual shine upon them. Memory Eternal!
O God, who chose your servant, Cyprian, from among your Priests, and endowed him with pontifical dignity in the apostolic priesthood, grant, we pray, that he may also be admitted to their company for ever.Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God for ever and ever. Amen

Uganda’s head of the Catholic Church Cyprian Kizito Lwanga, aged 68, has died in capital Kampala, a top church official announced on Saturday.
Pius Male Ssentumbwe, the chancellor of the Kampala Archdiocese, said in a statement that His Grace Archbishop Lwanga was found dead in his bedroom on Saturday morning.
The statement did not mention the cause of death.
Uganda’s President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni led the nation in mourning the Archbishop’s death saying, “With profound grief, I have learnt of the death of Kampala Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga. I join the Catholic Church, all religious faithful, and the country in mourning Archbishop Lwanga. He has died in faith. May God grant his soul eternal repose.”
Lwanga was appointed as Archbishop of Kampala and head of the Catholic Church in the east African country on Aug. 19, 2006.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
