He's apparently on the edge of death. Also, according to his estranged son, he was excommunicated from the church a few months ago. (I wonder what for?)
I know I'm posting this in Civics rather than Christianity, but I want anybody to be able to post; but I do want to add my two cents from a Christian perspective. I figure there will be a lot of gloating after he dies. As a Christian, I don't think this is the right response. While it's not our call to make judgments on eternal states, it is said that we can know people by their fruits, and the fruit here looks rather rotten. If God doesn't take pleasure in the deaths of anyone (Ezekiel 18:32), how can we?
