Covet Truth:
Thank you for that explanation. Perhaps that is the reason that all three: Bishop, District Superior and Seminary Rector were there. Father Cooper must, indeed, be very ill.
I see. All the honchos flew out to visit Fr. Cooper, who is dying. Bp. F would have stayed to put the final graveside touches on Fr. Gruner's burial. But because he cared so deeply about this priest, and indeed, about all of his priests. H.E. feared that he might miss the final moments with him, as did the Seminary Rector and that the compassionate Fr. Wegner. Yep, makes sense to me. :rolleyes:
