William Levada was a United States Cardinal, the "former head of the Vatican's doctrinal congregation and retired archbishop of San Francisco and Portland, Oregon." [1] Born "June 15, 1936," in "Long Beach, California," [2] he "died [September 26, 2019,] in Rome. He was 83." [3]
Not knowing the reasons, this blogger liked him very much.
9/29/19 Update: "[Sante Fe, New Mexico,] Archbishop John Wester[, former Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of San Francisco,] stated this morning [(September 26, 2019)], 'The Cardinal always gave of himself selflessly to the Church that he loved so much, and he used all of his abilities in her service. The gift that always impressed me most was the gift of his heart. He had great compassion for the priests and people of the Church..'" [4]
