Thanks now to Weronika Hansen for her update:

From KUL website:

Born 25 May 1921 in Berezowica Mała in Podole. Fell asleep in the Lord while correcting the article "Christianity" 8 May 2008 in Lublin.

The coffin with the body of Fr Krąpiec will be laid in the basilica of the Dominican fathers on Thursday, 15 May at 3 pm, when the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy will be recited. A book of condolence will be set out at the same time.

The funeral ceremonies will take place 16 May 2007, beginning with a Funeral Mass at 10 am in the Basilica of the Dominican Fathers (ul. Złota 9).

We will then process solemnly to the University Church, where the Final Commendation will be made.

The body of Fr Krąpiec will be buried in the cemetery on ul. Lipowa.

Hardly "limping English"! Thanks, Weronika.

Thanks to Rauhut Robert for sending along the following, regarding the death of Mieczysław Albert Krąpiec, OP:

For all those interested in Father Krapiec I refer to the obituary I wrote in German and which was published this week in the Germany daily "Die Tagespost" (link). One year ago I visited Father Krapiec and did one of the last interviews with him. The Portrait which I did out of this material is also available online (link).

Viele Grüße

This just in, from Fr Lawrence Dewan, OP, who heard the news from Anna Zhyrkova at Kalamazoo: Fr Mieczysław Albert Krąpiec, OP, long-time leader of the Lublin School of Thomism—associated in the public mind most especially with Karol Wojtyla (the late pope, John Paul II)—has died. I’ll try to get more particular information as I’m able, and would be grateful for information from anybody.

Some terribly sad news, from Michael Sherwin, OP:

Dear Colleagues,
I just received the following note from Fr. Benoît-Dominique de La Soujeole, prior of the Albertinum:

"Fr. Pinckaers left us this evening at 2 AM to go receive the recompense of faithful servants. We were able to keep vigil at his side without interruption beginning Sunday afternoon, when his situation became grave."

Fr. de La Soujeole had taken him to the Cantonal Hospital on the Friday before Holy Week, because Fr. Pinckaers was looking more tired than usual. On Tuesday of Holy Week, he suffered an intestinal hematoma (internal bleeding). On Easter Sunday he suffered a heart attack, and had another one on Saturday, April 4^th. Throughout it all, Fr. Pinckaers maintained his good humor and a spirit of confidence in the Lord.

This is a sad day for us, but a happy day for Servais.

Pax,
P. Michael Sherwin, o.p

Pinckaers has left behind prodigious output, and a useful collection of his articles is available in English, from CUA Press.
