Fr. Neuhaus Update

Kathryn Lopez at the Corner reports that Fr. Neuhaus, editor in chief of First Things, received Annointing of the Sick last night, and is not doing well:

His friends and family are keeping vigil and he was administered last rites shortly after midnight. Fr. George Rutler, who gave him the Catholic Sacrament, says that “he is not expected to live long” and suggests “that it is appropriate that prayers be offered for a holy death.”

Please keep Fr. Neuhaus and his friends and family in your prayers.

Very very sad news. A giant in American Catholicism. An innovator of the Brave New Orthodoxy. A terrific Melchizidek. If it is the Lord’s will may he enter eternal glory.

This makes me very sad. Fr. Neuhaus (and Fr. Rutler) played a very large part in me and my wife’s conversion. As Gerard says, he is a wonderful Melchizidek.
