NELSON MANDELA SOUTH AFRICA'S APARTHEID CONQUEROR DEAD.............

The major breaking World News of this Thursday December 5, 2013 is the announcement of the death of Nelson Mandela , the South Africa anti Apartheid leader who went from Prisoner to President of a free and equal nation for which he fought, suffered, and persisted, consuming decades of his own life and freedom, after a protracted illness at age 95.  A ten day period of mourning and commemoration of his life as a moral, social, economic, political, and governmental, international icon will lead up to his Funeral which may possibly have a history making gathering number of World Leaders and Peoples, equal to or exceeding those in attendance at that of John F. Kennedy, fifty years ago.  Much more about President Nelson Mandela and his lifelong impact on South Africa and around the Globe in the days ahead............Fr.  Troy David Poweers
