Interesting bit
of trivia. I just
learned that there are still 69 Second Vatican Council Fathers alive
today. The three oldest of these Council
Fathers are apparently 102 years old.
The Vatican has apparently
reported that 12 of these 69 Council Fathers will be present at the Mass on
Friday 12 October 2012 for the opening of the Year of Faith. They will concelebrate Mass at the Tomb of St Peter.

The 12 Council Fathers who will be present are:
Cardinal Francis Arinze; Cardinal Serafim Fernandes de Araújo; Archbishop
Hilarion Capucci; Bishop José Mauro Ramalho de Alarcón Santiago; Bishop
Yves-Georges-René Ramousse; Bishop Georges-Hilarie Dupont; Bishop Felice
Leonardo; Bishop Luigi Bettazzi; Bishop José de Jesús Sahagún de la Parra;
Bishop Robert-Casimir Tonyui Messan Dosseh-Anyron; Bishop William John
McNaughton; Bishop Roberto Cáceres.
The other
Council Fathers will not be present due to their health or age making this
difficult.
