Bishop Morlino of Madison has died [View all]

The Bishop of Madison died last night

The Diocese of Madison has confirmed the death of Robert C. Morlino, the Bishop of Madison Saturday night.

In a Facebook post, the Diocese said Morlino passed away Saturday, Nov. 24. at 9:15 p.m. at St. Mary's Hospital, at the age of 71. Diocese spokesman Brent King says the bishop suffered an apparent heart attack while undergoing medical tests.

Morlino was installed the fourth bishop of Madison in August 2003. The Wisconsin State Journal reports he upheld conservative Catholic Church teachings often at odds with the diocese's more liberal members.
