Wikipedia states this:

Elias Zoghby (born January 9, 1912 - January 16, 2008) was a Melkite Greek Catholic Archbishop of Baalbek

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elias_Zoghby

Did anyone hear about this?

Has he died?

Or is this an error?

I did some searching...nada on any of the Melkite sites (Patriarchate, Australia, USA) and the Catholic News agencies.

How sad if it is the case!

We shall remember His Eminence at the Divine Liturgy tommorow and Sunday in Dublin. Next Sunday, God willing, we shall serve the Panichida for him.
