Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete, Catholic theologian, dies at 73

Monsignor Lorenzo Albacete, a former scientist who became one of the most visible Catholic theologians in the United States, a defender of faith who in television appearances and newspaper commentaries addressed a complex and often doubting world, died Oct. 24 at a nursing home in Dobbs Ferry, N.Y. He was 73. The cause was complications from Parkinson's disease, said Louis Giovino, a spokesman for Communion and Liberation, a Catholic lay group with which he was associated. A native of Puerto Rico, Monsignor Albacete came to Washington in the 1960s to study aeronautics and physics at Catholic University.
