(VIS) – The Holy Father sent a telegram of condolence to
Cardinal Stanislaw Dziwisz, archbishop of Cracow, Poland, on
receiving news of the death there this morning of Cardinal Stanislaw
Kazimierz Nagy, S.C.I., cardinal-deacon of Santa Maria della Scala.
Cardinal Nagy was 91 years old.
“On
hearing the news of the death of the venerable Cardinal Stanislaw
Nagy, I wish to express to you, to the entire diocesan community, to
the family members of the worthy prelate, and to the Congregation of
Dehonian Fathers my heartfelt participation in their sorrow,
affectionately thinking of this dear brother who generously served
the Gospel and the Church, especially in the academic world, which
appreciated this studious and experienced theology teacher. I recall
with gratitude his fruitful collaboration, warm friendship, and
mutually shared esteem with Blessed John Paul II, as well as his
intense ecumenical activity. I pray earnestly that the Lord, through
the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, welcome this faithful
servant and eminent man of the Church to eternal peace and joy and I
wholeheartedly impart to all who mourn his loss the comfort of the
Apostolic Blessing.”
