Retired Catholic Bishop Walter F. Sullivan has an inoperable liver tumor and was due to be released Wednesday from St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond for hospice care at home, a diocesan spokesman said.
“He’s not in any pain,” said Stephen Neill, the editor of the Richmond diocesan newspaper, The Catholic Virginian.
Sulllivan was ordained a bishop in 1970 and became head of the Richmond diocese in 1974. He took mandatory retirement at 75 in 2003.
