A Nigerian-born Roman Catholic priest assigned to St. Paul's Cathedral in Birmingham is in critical condition after he was assaulted.
The church is releasing precious few details other than to say "another individual" was involved.
The Birmingham News has the story on al.com. As usual, the anonymous comments after the story are unmentionable. Talk Radio at its worst in print. When will the newspapers require real names be used?
Ironically, a documentary about the August 11, 1921 murder of another priest at St. Paul's is in production.
[UPDATE: The News reports he was apparently beaten by the husband of a woman he was having an affair with, and he may be paralyzed from the beating.]
I'm surprised that the bishop told the media about Fr. Isi's affair, and I'm also surprised that Fr. Isi was not suspended or defrocked.
