STATEMENT REGARDING
DEATH OF FORMER PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN
from
Cardinal Justin Rigali
Archbishop of Philadelphia

My service to the Holy See during the Presidency of Ronald Reagan brought me into contact with him. I share with millions of people in the United States great respect for him and for the many upright goals he pursued in the service of our nation and the world. I recall his personal esteem for Pope John Paul II and his great admiration for the activity of the Holy See in the cause of justice and peace. I offer my prayerful condolences to his family and ask the Lord to grant him the peace and joy of eternal life in heaven.
