IN THE END, Cardinal Anthony J. Bevilacqua’s death can’t invoke nefarious comparisons to that not-quite-a-classic movie “The Godfather Part III.”
Nor the real-life death of Pope John Paul I, who died 33 days into his papacy in 1978.
In the 1990 flick, a newly elected pope is the victim of foul play – something Montgomery County District Attorney Risa Vetri Ferman has wanted to rule out in the Bevilacqua case since the 88-year-old cardinal died Jan. 31 in Wynnewood.
The late cardinal died of natural causes – heart disease, with prostate cancer as a contributing factor, coroner Walter I. Hofman announced at a news conference yesterday.
