In your charity please pray for the soul of Msgr. Mario Marini, a friend of mine, who died on Sunday morning.
He died of cancer, which had metastasized aggressively.
Msgr. Marini was the Secretary of the Pontifical Commission "Ecclesia Dei" and before that the Under Secretary at the CDWDS. He was a Canon of St. Peter’s Basilica.
He was a man of exceptionally good humor and clear thought.

Sad news, Father. You’re both in my prayers.
Terrible news. Be assured of the prayers.
Not to be confused with the evil Piero Marini…requiescat in pace…

What a wonderful personality Msgr. Marini must have had. I have always been intrigued with the Canons at St. Peter’s, especially at Vespers on Sunday afternoons and at the Sunday Solemn Masses at the Altar of the Chair. The ones I have met have always been extremely kind. I’m not 100% sure which one was Msgr. Marini, but I will definitely pray for the repose of his soul.
Fr. Z.:
My wife and I will have a Mass read for his soul.

Praying.
Condolences.
As to Archbishop Piero Marini being “evil,” all I can say is that he stood at the Pope’s elbow for decades and didn’t seem to displease his master nor did he receive the paternal correction that most of us would have thought desirable.
A sad loss. I will offer a rosary for the repose of his soul.
Aww, Father, I am so sorry to hear about this loss.
Of course I will pray for Msgr Marini.
Father Z,
So sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I will remember him in my prayers.
Eternal memory!
Praying for Msgr. Marini.
Requiescat in pace.
So sorry to hear of the loss of your friend, Father Z…
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord…
