Also he lived a humble lifestyle, where possible. When he was a Bishop he never had a driver, even though entitled to one, whilst he was in Argentina. That's why I said he lived by the tenets of the Bible, as the Bible talks about being humble as being a virtue.

He has shown that even coming down to his own funeral.

I hadn't really thought about it till now but when i was baptised i was given my fathers name as my middle name but the priest advised my parents to add a Saints name so they chose Francis. I could not tell you the last time i used my baptism name anywhere in my name title.

I really liked Madsen, had a real cool air about him, kind of a likeable underdog. He was great in Reservoir Dogs and his other Tarantino movies and I particularly liked him in the Species series. I was surprised to see on imdb he's down for 344 "Actor" appearances - movies and tv. A hard worker who grabbed any role offered it seems. RIP.
