At some time on February 3, Father Charles Fiore, a resident of Wisconsin and thoroughly orthodox hero of the Faith suffered a massive and possibly fatal heart attack. He has received Extreme Unction.

Fr. Fiore is/was a close friend and ally of the late Father Kunz, the Tridentine priest murdered in the vicinity of Madison, Wisconsin a few years ago on parish property and whose murder is still unsolved.

Pray for his speedy and full recovery and/or for his hapy death and entry into heaven. I am rather computer challenged or I would post a prayer request. Please do so for me.

Please keep us informed. Father Charles Fiore is a hero and a soldier. V's wife.

BlackElk has requested that prayers be offered for Fr. Charles Fiore, a heroic priest who has labored far beyond the call of duty. Please see post #15 for more information.

I might also mention that Fr. Fiore was a close associate of Fr. Malachi Martin and worked to preserve his reputation against several slanders that were circulated after he was dead and could no longer defend himself.

I received new information on Fr. Fiore in a mass-distribution email today:

Dear All,

I have talked with several people close to the situation in Madison, Wisconsin regarding Father's prognosis. It is not good. Although people continue to pray for a miracle, his chance of recovery seems to be at or near zero. He reportedly has no meassurable brain waves.

Father is connected to a ventilator. The family representatives, acting on Father's advance directive, will give him until about the end of this week. If by that time he doesn't come to, they will disconnect any extra-ordinary means.

To re-cap, Fr. Fiore suffered a fall in his house on Friday, January 31st and beeped for help. He was transported to St. Mary's Hospital in Madison. On Saturday, February 1st he suffered a heart attack and went into a deep coma. At that time it was reported that if he survives and recovers, it is likely that there will be some amputation of his leg due to severe ulcers (caused by diabetes). If he does not survive, his plan was to have a Requiem Mass at St. Mary's in Rockford.

Several of you have written and asked about Extreme Unction. I am pleased to report that Father received the sacrament twice. Once was between the fall and his heart attack. The other was on Monday, February 3rd. The first was by a Capuchin priest, whose name I do not know, and the second was by Fr. Brian Bovee of St. Mary's in Rockford.

Please continue your prayers for Father. None of us knows what the devil may be tempting this good priest with at this very moment.

Short of a miracle, my next message to you may very well be the plans for Father's funeral.
