[OLD REGGIE]

"I say that because the Church has been subjected to such close scrutiny that it amounts to persecutions in some cases. The prosector has even demanded an autopsy of a very aged Cardinal so as to rule out suicide/murder. This sort of fever is dangerous,.."

In another case a Pope had a long dead Pope dug up and tried for heresy. ^o)

This sort of fever is dangerous.

[NakedRampage]

Which pope was dug up and which pope had him dug up?

[RobbyS]

You take my point, then. This sort of thing is strange. The person doing this is out to get someone.

A very old man, vague and frail, dies at age 88, probably from stress. And the prosecutor wants him exhumed to get evidence! Last night on Downtown Abbey the plot has a young woman suffering from the deadly Spanish Flu, suddenly relapsing and dying “of a broken heart,” from over hearing and seeing her fiance declaring his love for another woman,
Overdramatic,perhaps, but it does happen. A body compromised by age and/or disease, cannot stand much psychological shock. And with regard to the old Cardinal, even if nothing suspicious is FOUND, yet the prosector has managed to make the public suspicious. The aim being to try the Church in the court of public opinion.
